Tolkien 'bout my generation

[hirez]

Well, bollocks.


Obviously, this isn't all about me, but it's getting a bit bloody previous. Peelie, HST, Tony Wilson and now Swells. Yet Spandau effing Ballet are gigging again. I'd like the good cultural reference-points to last longer than the shit ones, please.

I can't see straight enough to transcribe 'Godzilla vs. The Tetley Bittermen' so you'll have to thieve it.

Let's hope the NME see enough sense and/or money to reprint the 'Ride the puffin' (and other names) articles w/Quantick.

(I'd advise not reading his last few articles from the Philly Weekly if you're of a nervous or hypochondriac disposition. Fine writing, but by Bob it's grim stuff.)

Edit: If you've known me long enough, it should (have) be(en) painfully obvious that my writing style began as variable parts me, HST & Wells, with the odd lump of Ballard thrown in for a laugh.

You've read El Reg, I take it?

Yep. Wikkidywikkidywack staffed by drooling-fuckwit Yankee-imperialist scumbags waddling about in creaking and spunk-caked strides? Who the fuck would have thought, eh?
