Squeeze - Goodbye Girl

I thought the discussion was limited to British songwriters although I could be wrong.

The Jive Five - What Time Is It

Just watching the “ Blondie “ night on BBC. 2 . What a great drummer Clem Burke was/is. Modelled himself on Dino Danelli of the Young Rascals who modelled himself on Keith Moon.

Gallagher And Lyle - Heart On My Sleeve

He’s back to being BB at the moment.

Subbed off in a 0-0 draw for Chile last night.

I think the word is - “ exciting “.

Sandy Stewart - My Colouring Book

Good cause too.

Doris Troy - Whatcha Gonna Do ‘Bout It

Paul Gallagher wasn’t the quickest forward I’ve ever seen but he made a good career for himself.

The Falcons - I Found A Love

Bobby Bland - Ain’t No Love ( In The Heart Of The City )

Free - My Brother Jake

I wouldn’t mind so much if we’d gambled on an experienced striker with an history of injury problems. Much as we gambled on Ayala when we needed an experienced centre half. What I don’t get is we gambled on a player 99% of us had never heard of before we signed him ! Very strange.

It’s the 4 year contract that puzzles me.

The Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb

There’s something not right about this deal.

For me it’s got to be more than just the music to be a fan, I’ve got to buy into the personality, life style, way of life etc.

Yeah, it was my wife’s first and last game. She didn’t appreciate the crush in the Blackburn End but I suspect some of the blokes around her did !

For a season, after we sold Fred Pickering and gave John a go in the No 9 shirt John and Andy McEvoy were brilliant as a pair. Season 1964-65. Johnny - 40 league games out of 42 = 25 goals ( 2 hat tricks ) + 2 in the cups. Andy - 40 league games out of 42 = 29 goals ( 2 hat tricks ) + 3 in the cups. What those two would be worth today ? I just looked at John’s record against West Ham 1961-62 H 3 goals, A 1 goal 1962-63 H 0 goals A 0 goals 1963-64 H +A not selected, Fred was No 9. 1964-65 H 3 goals A 1 goal 1965-66 H 0 goals A 0 goals - FA Cup H 1 goal A 3 goals

I remember seeing Stevie Wonder do “ Superstition “ live on Top Of Pops years ago. I knew it was live because it was better than the record ! Brilliant musician, but I’m not a fan. One of the best live performances I ever saw was Queen at Live Aid, but I’m not a fan of them either.

Solomon Burke - Down In The Valley

What about “ Little Red Corvette “ ? If you don’t like that you must have tin ear. Having said that there is a long list of obviously brilliant and well regarded artistes that just don’t do it for me. Stevie Wonder, Queen, Michael Jackson, David Bowie etc etc.
