There was some pic that a Britisheser posted of a boxer shaking hands with a convicted murderer? Or something like that?
Anyway, typical single-word "whoa" replies followed, so I went ahead and googled it to read the whole story about why the non-boxer was such a pariah. I Learned Something that day.
Now, if there had been a cutline like the one there for John Cooper Clark, a fella I know nothing about, I likely wouldn't have googled it since I already know the name.
I mean, I don't catch half the "jokes" on the Excelsior thread, but I don't insist on the punchline being explained to me either.

oversimplification but john cooper clarke = british jim carroll sorta. rock poet, releases a pretty great album in the early 80s. if you really really like that hannett factory sound i'd say seek it out. they used one of his tracks in a sopranos.

Siouxsie Sioux and Marc Bolan. Maybe not too surprising but I don't think of their careers as overlapping.

veg, you must read Dear Boy, the keith moon bio, if you've not read it. heartbreaking and depressing, but an amazing piece of work, and goes deep into keith's surf music obsession too.
