What are you listening to?

Love the opening bit with the lead guitar, and then the camera pans to the bass guitarist who plays just one note, and looks at Townsend as if he's on something...which he probably is! 

Why are bass guitarists so laid back, Bill Wyman used to lay back with 14 year old Mandy Smith and was quite open about it!

Keith Moon is alleged to have taken a cocktail of 32 different drugs on or about his 32nd birthday...which pretty much guaranteed he wouldn't be taking a cocktail of 33 different drugs on his 33rd birthday!

Enjoy.  

Falling in love for the first time...I remember my first love as if it were years ago.

I was doing a Photography course at RAF Albrighton, and decided to take a stroll down to the camp shop. Getting in the short queue, I had a look at the two girls working behind the counter, one of whom, took my breath away. Suddenly, I was stood in front of this apparition of beauty...she looked at me and smiled...I was speechless! I literally couldn't speak, I stood there with my mouth open, drooling...like someone from Hele Village! 

After what seemed a lifetime I managed to pull my self together and just took her beauty in. She was a Northern Irish Catholic (I was doing the course I was on for NI)  and had beautiful rosy cheeks...which amazingly, I can close my eyes even now and still see them. Her name was Margarete Logan...and she was a beauty. 

I was 21 years old, and though I had been with other women, I had never felt anything like this. 

I was at the camp for two weeks, and we dated during that time. The thing that makes it so pure though, was the fact that we never slept with each other...Biblically! 

When we meet someone we like, the first thought in our heads is how long it will take before we can get between their legs! When that happens, and the three minutes are up, we race down the pub to tell our mates. 

We may go on to have a relationship or even marry that person, but that relationship is never again based on pure love...it is based on wanting, need, grasping! 

I'm sure by now, you're either bored shitless, or wanting to know the final outcome.

When I went back to my unit, we still kept in touch but it all came to an abrupt end when I mentioned I was joining the Paras! Some months after that, whilst in NI I did a check on her...and found out that her brother had been shot dead by the Paras! 

Enjoy 

What a cracking performance from Leicester City yesterday as they demolished Southampton on their own ground. I watched the first half, and with a 5-0 interval lead, decided their was little chance of a competitive second 45 mins, and so watched the episode of Emmerdale that Lady Alpine had recorded earlier  .

So a musical tribute to Leicester City and their fans past and present seems in order.  And as Reg and I hark back to the early 70's with our choices, it was a time when women's involvement with football only attracted publicity if it involved a London club, a far cry from today when the girls could soon be asking 'Does my bum look big in this TUST tracksuit ?' 

So here's a little reminder of how it was in that early 70's era and the Londoncentric Press (at least that hasn't changed). Plenty of coverage for Raquel Welch turning up for a Chelsea match at Stamford Bridge (accompanied by Jimmy Hill) and for Fiona Richmond following Big Mal into the bath at Selhurst Park. Yet the Foxes fan who taught Frank Worthington most of his skills at Leicester ...... hardly a dickie bird.


So step forward Linda Lewis, and very well done Leicester City.
