he might be out of luck if heaven has had a me-too moratorium on bloated Tory sex-offenders!

Dull story - One time (1990 or thereabouts) we had our works' Christmas do in Stringfellows (me neither), it was alright but at one point I decided to go up to the DJ box and request some Stone Roses (I know, I know), dude said "yeah, OK" and about 10-15 mins later he played "Fools Gold". It wasn't until I looked again I realised it was the man himself.

So, why would he be running the DJ decks during a fairly nondescript corporate booking, being fairly low-key himself? I guess he enjoyed the work.

There you go, finished now, wake up..

did you have to tuck a fiver into his speedo?

He lives on, in the fact that being compared to Stringfellows is an obvious claim of misogyyny.

Does that make Elvis's Sun band one of the few groups along with the Ramones and Jimi Hendrix Experience where every member is now dead?

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 14 June 2018 12:19 (eight years ago)
