I quite liked Fun Boy Three. Doesn’t make me a bad person.
Holy shit.
This will be the version of a mega song I’ll always remember from this. Without lockdown I’d never have found the show and heard this
Springsteen famously did not serve in Vietnam. He failed his military medical, and has made comments that suggest he knew how to fail his medical.
Muhammed Ali went to jail. Used his profile to speak out. I prefer that.
He tells the story in the show.
Fucking hell. How apt is this? Almost literally in places, although I’m sure meant Frank meant it figuratively at the time.
A deeply moving and heartfelt tribute to our hard working leader, to uplift us all during these troubled times. - from historian Paddy Docherty.
Hmm. Not sure he wrote the original of that y’know.
We actually had the 45 single.
It read “I’m a winker” (misprint).
Which is why I’ve always been fond of calling Winchester people “winkers”

That was BRILLIANT!
I know but then 1. I never had any street cred or Cool. 2. I have been dragged to see him twice and love his live shows piss take & heavy metal for the lads parts 3. This is nice.
