The title of Lindisfarne's "Hey Mr.Dream Seller" was actually "Meet Me On The Corner". I am sure the island is a wonderful place and I shall go there when I have a chance. However, in defence of the band, I have to say they were fine musicians and good blokes. I met them in my college days and admired both their music and their decent, unaffected personality. They played what we called folk rock back then. It could be too much rock for some tastes, but there were jigs and reels in there along with Woody Guthrie songs. Wasn't the "Creek Alley" by the Mamas and Papas actually "Creque Alley"?
