Thread Name: BS: Status Quo and the Kangaroo
Subject: BS: Status Quo and the Kangaroo
A new book relating stories from the rock and roll excesses reviewed recently on the BBC.
The title comes from the time when SQ were touring Australia.
The tour bus knocked over a kangaroo so the band dressed it up in a leather jacket, bandana and sunglasses and took their photographs with the kangarooo propped up between them.
Unfortunately it was only stunned and when it recovered it smacked them like kangaroos do and took off. Which would not have been too bad except the keys to the tour bus were in the jacket pocket!
It occurred to me that there should be some good stories from folk.
Anyone like to contribute. Names could be hidden if necessary.
