I read that a few years ago. Incredibly interesting stuff.
He (Moon) must have been absolutely exhausting to be around. When you hear about some of the incidents he was involved in, you have this idea that they were every now and then. They weren't, they were pretty much daily. I really felt for his wife and the way he treated her.
Theres no doubt he was an absolute phenom when it came to drumming.
He certainly wasn't a pleasant human being though.
Off for my booster in a minute. I've had mixed reports from friends about the after effects, but hopefully I won't grow another cock or something.
Mind you...
On my 23rd Birthday (a long time ago) my good lady wife bought me Murder Ballads on CD after a friend mentioned it might be something I'd enjoy. At first I didn't really know what to make of it, but then after a few listens the music, the lyrics, and Nicks emphatic delivery of them (Stagger Lee...oh my word) began to click.
He's been one of my ever present musical heroes since then. I adore him.
I used to find it depressing, so I now make a point of getting up at a reasonably early time, planting myself on the settee and having a day of watching some of my favourite movies.
Always works a treat and I now look forward to it.
Many years ago, when Kiddy drew West Ham in the 3rd round of the FA Cup - I designed the match programme.
Always had a soft spot for them (Harriers) after that.
Watched it tonight.
It's not too bad actually. For a 'geezer' type movie it had a decent amount of emotion and Fairbrass managed to give the main protagonist a basic level of sympathy often missing in this type of film.
Thought it lost its way the last 20 mins or so but yeah, watchable enough.
The Eluvium one is because Virga is my 7am-9am soundtrack most mornings while I'm still waking up and can't handle anything too obtrusive and loud.
Great album tbf.
1,878 different artists I can understand but 140 different genres?...such twaddle
