Music Of The Moment

[Dropbear]

The second live gig I ever say, an all-ages Cramps show in 1987 .

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

What looks good onstage has little, if any, relation to what looks good in real life.

Too many people - men mainly - make this mistake.

New album coming soon:

Dusty Hill bass player of popular beat combo ZZ Top died aged 72. RIP.



Appearance of a tramp singing song about sharp dressed man. Not really my cup of tea.

He looks more like his hero Corbyn each day.

Mermaid Avenue was his last good album with Wilco doing Woody Guthrie songs Guthrie only wrote the lyrics for.

Don't like his politics, but can't stand his voice. I simply can't listen to him.

 

[Kingstonian]

Well I like him anyway. When he first came on the scene the simple electric guitar and vocals was unlike anything else around. The Bard of Barking.

Some classic songs too. Though I admit his politics did get a bit tiresome. I even like the Bill Bailey spoof Billy Bragg.

Another guitarist with left wing politics and a strong accent. ‘Handful of Earth’ is a classic album

He certainly made an impact on the original Red Wedge tour when he came out as a one man band. But that was then, and this now.

Weller had/has the same politics as him, but distanced himself when he became disillusioned with Labour politics as being a pop star for ugly people. Although Weller did a benefit gig for Corbyn before the lockdown. So he's not that clever, far from it. But he's clever enough to know that his BS socialist politics when he's sent all his kids to private schools and paid for education at top USA universities and the like, means he can't come out as hypocritical socialist warrior to the extent Bragg has. Then again, Bragg's wife is interior decorator to the stars. You couldn't make it up.

That was a great album, similarly themed, Robbie Robertson's Storyville album a couple of years later:

New summer playlist...

 

[Thruth]

There is nothing like Nashville Pussy, right? But Nashville Pussy in France is even better.

The Ramones:

P.S. fxh. are you all right with this or would you like me to break it down into easily digestible chunks?

The Ramones didn't want to grow up

They invented punk rock — but couldn't survive it

Little ode to working life.

The mere look of The Ramones put me off.

Little ode to working life.

Great album, Costello in his prime with The Attractions.
