Rory, Duke's book is called "Young and Foolish - A Personal Pop Odyssey", and is written under the frankly bizarre pseudonym "Alistair Fitchett". It is published by Stride, who turn out to be a poetry press! Its number is ISBN 1 900152509. It'll change your life. Unless you've already read it on the Information Superhighway, in which case it's a nice souvenir. Stuart Gardiner's in it, and Paul and Jamie Huxley and Michele Waggner and some other people. I wonder if the chapter entitled "American Rock" is a tribute to Denim? I bet it bloody is you know. List Legend 1: Teddy Pendergrass. Today I snapped up "The Philly Sound: Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and the Story of Brotherly Love (1966 - 1976)", featuring the aforementioned Teddy Pendergass during his time with Harold, Melvin and the Blue Notes. I haven't listened to it yet, but I just know it's great. It looks and smells fabulous. I've never seen so many afros in one place. List Legend 2: Richard Roundtree. On Thursday (I think) I'm hoping to see the big man himself on the big screen. Sadly not in "Shaft", "Shaft's Big Score" or "Shaft in Africa". Looking at the posters for the Horror and Fantasy Film Festival, my eye was caught by something called "The Winged Serpent", and there was Richard Rowntree lurking way down the cast list. Some of you may have seen this film on late night everyone's in bed telly. It's absolute shit, but I'm going to see it anyway. I think the director's going to be there, so if he is, I'm going to ask him for Richard Roundtree's autograph so I can send it to the fantastically funky FunkySeb, whose Richard Rowntree joke was one of the highlights of my life. List Legend 3: Reid Dossinger. What can I say that hasn't been said already? All I hope is that New York listees are as willing as Reid and his constantly expanding bevvy of main squeezes to embarrass themselves in front of the band and then tell us all about it. By the way, my chum has said he's definitley going to try to be there tonight, so please feel free to accost total strangers and ask them if they are Cheeky. Which is the best way to pronounce his name. I bet he won't get there, but still. Yesterday I went to the pictures and it was Sliding Doors starring Gwyneth Poultry and she looks like an inside out mackrel and the film was really sick and disgusting and I was frightened and I wanted my mum and everyone gets pregnant twice.
