Bud the Baker Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Seen them a few times, first was at The Apollo in 1980 - was up in the balcony which was bouncing that night! RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mc Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 One of the first gigs I saw at the Apollo. Half the crowd at the front was on stage for a very long version of their Saints theme song Go Buddy Go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Monster Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Gorden Brown - one of the great heroin songs... Another by The La's Just shows how much I listen to music, always thought it was an alright tune and never knew what it was referring to until yesterday.

rabuddies Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 As a child of the 60's who got into the alternative culture and music of my teens I thought I was too old for punk but really liked their first single "Grip" so I bought it and then their first 2 albums which I still really like. However, tastes change and mellow and I moved on. Now it turns out that the original band were all older than me!! Jet Black had left school before I was born. Strange times but not as strange as Jimmy Young playing the LA's on his Radio 2 show and saying "that's bound to to be a big hit??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 If he was a strangler, then a just and proper punishment would have been hanging. He should have been buried years ago, especially now prisons are holiday camps. And I would have pulled the lever myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
