That's nothing. The Feelies have reformed!
Orderly queue, girls (and boy).
Did one of them...
...manage to get a girlfriend, then?
Never mind, there's always Emmylou
Wow
I don't know what she's got but it's got me
Good bone structure
as I believe it used to be called. Plus an ability to keep her hands out of the Peek Freans selection box. And that hair....
Does anyone recall a Sunday colour supplement, probably from the 70's, that had a feature on aged rockstars? It had some great colour cartoons of Hendrix, Jagger and the rest, based on what someone thought they may look like in their later years. (Then, few rock stars were much beyond 26). As I remember, Hendrix was assessed as being bald on top with bushy grey earmuffs. I can't find any of it on the web, but it would be fun to look at the one of Jagger, as he's now gone past the point at which he was caricatured.
Thank god for the male of the species....
..who ages so anonymously, neither withered nor made stale by the passage of time.
(Time to wheel out the obligatory pix of Keef/John Martyn/Peter Perritt/Stephen Stills etc etc etc)
Best cop show ever!
Cop shows have always been around in one form or another but which are the classics?
I have my two favourites to bore you with:
The Sweeney
What can you say about The Sweeney? It's the bloody Sweeney init!
Apart from the violence, hard drinking, smoking and birds it almost verges into "Terry & June" territory between Regan & Carter.
Storylines are great with first class actors that you always know from "somewhere else".
And the music.....the music is just fantastic. Funky hammond while Regan breaks someones nose, Rhodes piano while Carter wakes up from last nights bender.
Hawaii Five-O
What I have noticed on recent viewing is that Steve McGarrett treats his team like complete imbeciles and he never ever raises his voice. He doesn't have too, he's Steve McGarrett.
The locations are fantastic and again the music is just out there.
And just quietly they both have the greatest opening and closing credits ever.
Err.....I didn't mean to post here. Apologies.
Please take care while posting!
It won't
get you ranked higher in Google, you know. They're on to this sort of thing.
