I wonder if B&S will be doing cover versions when they tour again? I'd love to see Isobel perform Fela Kuti onstage. I bet Mad Dog Murdoch would too. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the cause of all that guitar smashing business in Dublin. Mind you, it wouldn't be the same without Stuart David looking on. I've been trying to think of other bobble-hatted bass players. The only one I can remember is KEITH from groovy train travelling all together now love sees no colour Liverpudlians The Farm. This afternoon I watched Leicester Tigers on Frenchie telly. Imagine my partial surprise to see my old schoolmate "Dozzer" knocking seven bells of shit out of the opponents. I was quite impressed, he seems to have matured over the fifteen years or so since I last saw him. I think he's a policeman now. I've also been keeping a close eye on the Big Country bulletin board on their website. Relax kids, the inventor of bagpipe guitars is safe and well. Hooray! Their former bus driver still seems very bitter for getting the sack for saying U2 were better than Big Country though. The rest of the fans are like Numanoids in lumberjack shirts. I like Stuart Adamson for those echoing "SHOUT-OUT-OUT-OUT!"s on their early 12 inch records. They were undoubtedly a precursor of the hallucinatory dub effects made popular by King Tubby ten years earlier. I think I'm going to go and put a message of support on their bulletin board. Mr Beaker, how did you teach Oon to swim? By chucking her in the water and then sticking a betting slip on the end of a fishing rod and dangling it just out of reach? Did she have a flutter on that elephants' football match? And is she back on the list? The list without Oon is like a meal without cheese.
