on his fine lemmy piece and interview... what a star the man is - just how rock'n'roll can one man be and NOT be keef...?
almost lost my breakfast at the image of him fighting off barbra steisand for the no.1 album spot ... 'no way, babs' in that granite growl 'this one's mine, darlin''
also particularly liked the 'changing the duvet cover' bit - love the thought of rock legends doing incredibly mundane tasks - prince doing the washing up... jimmy page changing the cat litter.. elton john mending that troublesome latch on the garden gate etc

Yup, very amusing piece on Lemmy. Also noticed that Rob gave a heads up to the new album by Peter Bruntnell. I've gone about Bruntnell previously in the blog and sincerely believe he is one of this country's finest writers.
Your magazine frightened my chidren
I love Lemmy, and his incredible body of work, but my boy woke up in thh middle of last night having had a nightmare about:
"the scary man with the hairy face on the cover of daddies magazine".
Next time you are going to interview him, put a nice picture of a puppy on the front, please.
P.S. loved the Cure photos. It was nearly like being there. You could almost smell the dressing room. Keep it up!
The scary man with the hairy face.....
First time reader, then, Ianso?
Has your son not seen the previous followers of Adonis featured.....
(Fountain of Salmacis, anyone?)
I have had two encounters with Lemmy...
Encounter 1: His wart briefly grazed my face as he pushed past me in the packed stalls of Hammersmith Odeon during a ZZ Top gig in 1983. How proud I was...
Encounter 2: At the tender age of 16 I went up to him in The Ship pub in Wardour Street before a gig at the Marquee and said "Oi Lemmy, I've bought all your records and I'm skint. Fancy buying me a pint?" He did so, and left me with the immortal words "There's yer drink. Now FUCK OFF!" How proud I was... made even prouder by the fact that Phil Lynott was standing next to him pissing himself laughing...
A half beard...
but forgiven for an unusual and interesting cover star.
But please, please can we try to get someone who is either:
1. Female
2. Alive
3. Younger than 50
4. If male preferably someone who does not have any facial hair at all.
Note to Mr Ellen
Emmylou Harris is over here very soon.
Could you have a finer cover star?
