Surely the lodestone of rightness in this thread is Neil Young’s A Man Needs a Maid?

‘In the last verse, Young describes watching a movie and falling in love with the actress. This is an autobiographical ref […]

See you there. Just part of my continuing series of gigs featuring members of The Church with a far better-looking sidekick. Just Peter Koppes with a harp player to go after this.

Just as I was thinking “That drummer’s just pure Ringo” he threw in a bit of the Abbey Road drum solo. Good work, masked batteriste!

I, also, experienced a band who’d released two successive albums of raggley taggley folk rock (TM) then fired most of the people who’d made them and gone out as a hard rock four piece. God love Anto for qua […]
