Thread Name: Rick Astley anyone?
Subject: RE: Rick Astley anyone?
When I wsa 17 and well into Dr Feelgood, Wilko, Eddie and the Hotrods pub rock R&B, and proto punk,
I hated Led Zep, Purple, and Sabbath, and had this immense ex grammar schoolboy sense of superiotity,
writing their fans off as a mass of boneheads...
From my 30s onwards I started really getting into music I used to revile in my teens...
.. including fat Vegas Elvis...
From the moment I met my Welsh mrs in 1982,
I had to start adjusting to her people's worship of Tom Jones...
One of my biggest disapointments was I was employed to work on his big late 80s comeback gig at the Hammersmith Odeon,
but couldn't make it in due to the transport strike...
