I am going to offer my Cilla theory. And I am going to do it because, you cannot libel the dead. But I think that her leaving the Epstein stable is what tipped him over to suicide. I don’t think it was the Beatles […]

As some of you know I am a “freelance media wanker” who does quite a lot of work in the BBC. When DLT was having his legal problems I was regularly working with a guy who worked with him back in the day. His […]

Jim Morrison from The Doors was as talented a poet as he was lyricist. He recited this beauty on his spoken word album An American Prayer, but I feel that “Lament For My Cock” really needs the unadorned words to […]

The man was a gun rights advocate. Had I said “I hope you are hoist by your own petard” I doubt he would have understood.

Something like that got me thrown off twitter permanently. A right wing American gun nut tweeted, after the shootings on London Bridge something along the lines of “If the Brits were allowed guns he could have […]

My translation doesn’t scan, but it’s an explanation. By the way, it was written by a guy called Adam McNaughton who, for many years, ran a second hand bookshop near the Tron Theatre in Glasgow…

The Jeely Piece Song
Hey Maw! Throw us another piece!
(Mother, please may I have a sandwich?)
Here ye are son! CATCH!
(Yes my child, I’ll throw it to you, do please catch)

I’m a skyscraper wean; I live on the […]

That song is so not gibberish to me! It is very specific, though. It was common in Glasgow for parents in places like The Gorbals to throw sandwiches (pieces) out of windows for their children, who played in the […]

Oh there are some gems here! Thanks for the playlist. I’ll have some fun with that later…

This song is total genius.

I haven’t heard this in years! Ta for the reminder.

I bloody love that tune! Totally demented…

It occurred to me recently that I have never played “Thriller” or “Bad” from beginning to end, and it’s purely because Michael Jackson was so ubiquitous back in the day, the songs were played literally everywhere, […]

I am a freelance media wanker who occasionally works for the BBC. I can assure you that there are plenty of Tories there. They tend to be the well paid people. Robbie Gibb used to work for Theresa May. His brother […]

But, as they point out on the internet, by not giving you “Up” he lets you down. This is “The Astley Paradox.”

I’d rather hear Rick Astley doing the Smiths than Morrissey. What are the odds that Johnny Marr and/or other ex Smiths show up? I’d suggest pretty high…

He’s coming onto Question Time this week. I predict that as soon as he has completed his mandatory set of appearances on Farage’s show on GBeebies, the BBC will have him back.

Jesus, a top ten of Laurel Canyon albums which doesn’t have Tapestry in it? I mean, I know it doesn’t really need a boost or anything, but COME ON????
