No doubt this has appeared on the site and probably several times I’ll be bound. My only recollection is I didn’t go and I didn’t go ‘cos of my previous traumatic experiences of filmed music shows like the Oxford Rd. show where you were pushed and cajoled by runaway cameras wheeling around like giant daleks, and often times with not that much to see unless you were right up front. The worst was a New Order one at Granada where we were kept all day with the promise of some nosh to keep our spirits up and we didn’t even get that! I would have asked for me money back except that it was free; could have been worth a try though...
Madonna strutting her stuff with Dancing Tarantula people skulking in the background is about the best recollection I can muster.
(Jeez Looking at the date I can't believe it was that long ago!Doesn't seem so long ago at all. The tempis has surely fugited...).
Looks like I've crossed over into the 700th parallel so 'scuse me while I kiss the sky! and it seems out here on the perimeter there are no stars...Feels like the longer I've been doing these uploads the slower I've gotten; I've almost come to a grinding halt. Been a bit tricky trying to find time/ inclination etc.. I've just got to think, what would Bear Grylls do in this situation ? And with that thought I'll push on....
