Before spouting forth my condemnation I did indeed listen to GHS for the first time in decades. Just as bad as I remembered it – old prejudices don’t fade away.

I’m no DeadHead but I do have a surprisingly large number of their records including almost all of Dick’s Picks. But during their “fabled tour” of Europe in 72 I saw them in the Wembley Arena. The only time I fell […]

Sorry if it came across as a sledge but what I was trying to impart was that after the glories of the earlier Stones, GHS really is awful and Jagger’s vocals are laughingly mannered. IMHO of course.

I honestly give up. I suppose my opinion of Goats Head Soup as an awful
and truly dreadful pastiche , and don’t talk to me of Jagger’s mid-atlantic Muddy Waters’ impersonation, in this context means not a jot?

Createspace, now part of the Kindle Publishing empire, works fine for me and my scribbling chums. It gets put up on Amazon where you and anybody else can buy as many or as few as you like.
Would think a smallish […]

Wrong! Best of all the series so far – and the ending!

I’m beginning, no I am not – I am certain that the internet social media thingie is BAD (except on here of course). It allows everyone to think that their views somehow matter when, let’s face it the majority of […]

“A handful of records” presumably doesn’t include Aerial or, shiver, the Album That Must Never Be Named”??
These are difficult times and we all must stick together. Remember, your vote counts (unless of course […]

Just an add-on from my own experience – we tried as much as possible to avoid lawyers and pretty amicably worked out an agreement all on our ownsome. It took several years to realise I had financially shafted […]

Fine review by a fine writer – but is it still too soon for a “proper” review? This old geezer is still far from sure what to think of R&R even after multiple listenings.
Back in the day I used to think that […]

From one, like many on here it seems, who went through a pretty nasty divorce all I can repeat is that things will eventually get better. Try not to get too bitter (especially in front of the kids) and accept […]

It’s not that I think Better Call Saul is, like, bad – it’s just not as good as many people claim it is. And after an episode of three it’s slowness goes beyond slow and into “get a bloody move on!”. And no, it […]

Now that was a gig and a half! Twenty thousand drunken Aberdonians pelting the stage with empty cans of McEwans and bellowing “You’re shite, you are’ and “Show us your tits”

Pray tell me where exactly in The Rules does it say “Giving Lodes a coronary is permissible”? That’s it – I’m off to write a retrospective review of the Worst Record Ever Made. I promise to be fair, impartial and […]

I knew you were an old hippy!

Never mind Mavis, all of Davidg’s votes are null and void cos of his third “choice”. I’m beginning to think I’m the only one left on here with any insight into popular music.

Bit disappointed you’re not all piling in to celebrate Burt’s return with a hamper. As his own site descends ever further into madness and mayhem the old fella needs a helping hand from his old mates, don’t […]

Ah, haven’t looked properly for a while. Let me check

And you’re right – only Los Angeles left as far as I can see. How strange, maybe that’s why Junior seeks help?

Or possibly yay?
