BS: Did MacColl like anyone???

I mean...aside from his wife and kids. And Joe Stalin (for awhile). But was there anyone else whom he liked? Anyone at all? I have heard that he didn't like chimps, for instance, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. He reputedly didn't like Bob Dylan! Think what that means.

So.......

Did he like the postman?

The bus driver?

The pub owner?

His mother-in-law?

His MP?

Woody Allen?

Will Rogers?

Etc?

No, I would need to start taking them in the first place, Pete... This is a no-med administration here.

Surely you've heard that old expression...

"Lips that touch meds will never touch mine." ;-D

I heard a rumour that he liked Bert Brecht.

It's a pretty straight bet that he liked Peggy Seeger!

You've probably heard that the very first time he sang "The First Time..." to Peggy, it was over the telephone. But not everyone knows that after he sang the original version, she said, "Ewan, it's really nice, but, for public performance, perhaps you had better change that one word to face !

Hate that Shatner shit. The chimp's kinda cute, though.

When he and Peggy did a concert I arranged, we argued (or to the point, Peggy argued whilst he looked on) over cash versus cheque.

I can confidently state he might have not liked me. (We argued when I interviewed him for a radio show, for that matter. Grumpy old goat.)

Still worshipped him artistically though, and when you think about it, his postman etc didn't have that hero worship to worry about. So, we are no nearer to knowing if he liked anyone?

(On a serious level, listen to "The Joy of Living" and you might just get an answer...)

I think I read somewhere that he liked his dick. He named it Timmy Toad for some reason and was fond of playing with it between sets...............

'"Let MacColl you sweetheart"!'

Had to look at that twice to see it once. You bad, Martin, bad!

I think he liked Hamish Henderson. But not in a bad way.

Hamish Henderson liked everybody (apart from Duncan MacRae) but that's another matter.

Somehow I am tempted to create a thread named " Why didn`t Joe Offer like Shatner?"....;0)

Could be a little to much though....
