@psychopopblues My best book. Psychedelia and Other Colours.
The one I'm proudest of because I didn't expect it to sell. All I Want is Out of Here.
The one that a publisher should have optioned. Unsung Unsaid.

Read this and be very afraid. And this is just my area. Stop moaning about Labour and focus, you factionalist twats. These people are the real enemy.

In Cocoa Tree in Chorlton. I'll tell you what. They make a proper decent iced coffee in here.

Woke up this morning thinking about that time they redesigned Baker St tube with Sherlock Holmes tiles and left stacks of them at the bottom of the stairs. People were helping themselves. My mate redecorated half his bathroom with them and very nice they looked too.

When I joined the Glaxos back in the punk days I warmed to drummer Geoff Alsopp straight away when he could name all three Paper Dolls. Yeah, sod your year zero.

There's a great Doonesbury cartoon about Roland Hedley and the gang drawing lots to see who got to shout the inaudible question to Ronald Reagan as he ducked towards the helicopter. I can't find it right now but trust me there is.

@60sPsychJukebox Nah, I've heard they're just an electronic gimmick band. Pete Murray said so on Juke Box Jury. Gone in 6 months I reckon. A year tops.

Today could have been a great day to bring a little dignity to the occasion, to rise to the demands of the job, to acknowledge that you lack perspective and are totally out of your depth and to know when people have simply had enough but sadly Sky News totally blew it.

OK. I'm throwing this one open. Best caption wins a goldfish.

Me and young Zack do have something in common then because I avoided paying the poll tax for three years.

@SpotlightT87239 The desire to present a 1980s damaged goods comedian as an existential anti-hero. So far it has sold 45 copies so and help you can give by shining your global spotlight would be appreciated.

"Any of you ever been in a working men’s club? Thought not. (Parodic posh voice.) Oh, wait, we did go to a gig at a community centre that time didn’t we, Samantha? You remember. That world music thing. Lovely food." Drum would have stormed SNL. Or would he? Buy my book.
