Classic album prequels
Posted by Steerpike on 9 July 2010 - 12:30pm.
A phenomena of recent times in the film industry - but not so for music. Jack Dee on the classic radio programme "I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue', this week encouraged the participants to think up joke titles for prequels of classic movies. My favourite was 'Plenty of Mohicans'
So, what about some risible titles for prequels of classic albums? Who knows, we might just save the recording industry. I'll get the ball rolling.
How about the Dylan classic just waiting for the green light: 'Highway 61 Visited'
Your turn.

Oh dear
Are there any original thoughts left?
Thanks
That's the trouble with a lot of us now, we are at the age when we can't remember things as well as we used to. An up arrow for being my memory.
Ps Can you remind me when it's the wife's birthday as well?

Flaw in your cunning plan...Mr Drake would never have known if there had been 6 leaves left, not unless he had excavated the remaining skins... then he would have NO leaves left. You, Sir, are a rapscallion. Explain your way out of that one, chummee.
Confused,
Being all innocent and pure of thought and deed I always thought Mr Drake was making reference to writing paper.I am shocked and dismayed that it would seem that Mr Drake was a SMOKER.
