‘Driven’ is the polite word for him Mark. I have a cracking Neil Young gig story but I think that is one for Blues Bar when we are allowed back!!

I'm a fan of Neil Young but there are only so many versions of his songs I can listen to. I felt the same about the Beatles anthology series as well. I played a few from Vol 2 today but had to look quite hard to find stuff I hadn't heard before on bootlegs etc. But you're dead right he's an interesting artist. I would imagine a very difficult bloke to work with!

The Clash - White Riot

Damian Rice - Grey Room

The Rolling Stones - Not Fade Away

The Chi-Lites - Too Good To Be Forgotten

Neil Young - Hey Hey My My (Out Of The Blue)

Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum

One of the few situations where the cover version is arguably better than the original. Though I do also like George Jones' original recording of this. One or two of EC's big hits were actually cover versions.

Roxy Music - Same Old Scene

I remember Richard Wilson, the other guest on that show, being aghast at Manning's behaviour. In truth I think by that stage Bernard was a rather pathetic figure, a bit like the clown left behind after the parade had gone by.

I would guess that a few of them were in the third division an' all?

Ha ha so did we!

Prefab Sprout - Billy

Surely 1979/80 must include The Jam and a bit of Two Tone as well Ian? 😉😎

The Small Faces - Grow Your Own (Paul Weller leant on this for his single 'Peacock Suit')

I think this song is actually called Vincent. Windsor Davies and Don Estelle - Whispering Grass

Never a penalty in a million years that. If that happens to a Hughes, Kendall, Saxton, Souness or Dalglish team they come out second half and kick the shit out of Swansea. Will these lads do that?

Snap - Rhythm Is a Dancer

James Taylor - Fire and Rain

Even the most optimistic Rovers fan knows this is not possible under our current manager. Had a few good trips to Vicarage Road over the years as well. Good luck.

I think you would probably need to already know or like this lot to be interested but I’ve just discovered a Prefab Sprout album that I didn’t even know existed from a few years back (2013), it’s called Crimson/Red. It sounds as good as anything they have ever done, which is high praise from me. Paddy McAloon is an amazing songwriter and this will be my walking music for the next few days I think 😊

Bootsy Collins - I'd Rather Be With You

Trevor Peacock, most famous for playing Jim Trott in Vicar of Dibley, has died aged 89. He was an unbelievably talented fella, wrote songs and musicals and worked with the very best, including the Beatles. RIP https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56332163

He spoke with a forked tongue every time he opened his slimy mouth.
