    Actually being an utter dick — or at least a partial dick — is probably a requirement in almost any expressive medium.

    Whoops, schoolboy error there

    Ps no dig at Spoony intended above- I had been listening to Skids album "Absolute Game'

    Jobson didn’t play with Big Country - Stuart Adamson was guitarist in both bands. (After Skids, Jobson formed The Armoury Show, about whom I recall very little.)

    I remain hopeful of reintroducing AH to the plodding 70s dadrock of his childhood

    Didn't we discover a common favourite in Croat folkie Goran Bregovic? Check out his album with Polish diva Kayah

    Easy, tigers!

    In Big Ivan's defence, like many/ most artists he peaked before 35. You can ignore the mediocrity since. He was hardly going back to welding (see threads passim for details) .

    Van Morrison coughing on someone would beat anything he's done musically in the last 40 years.

    Van Morrison was doing socially distanced shows in London earlier in the autumn. I'd be interested to know whether his vocal disdain for virus control measures helped ticket sales there. If you were undecided about going, the thought that he might wander over and cough on you just to make a point might well make a few repeats of Murder, She Wrote seem the better option.

    Apart from Astral Weeks and TB Sheets that miserable wee cunt can get in the sea.

    I take it that Van the man was asleep while the patriot act was passed back in the early 2000's. That was a shoulder shrug, but the masks, oh yes, that's the true mark of oppression.

    It does seem a strange thing to get het up about.

    I'm genuinely baffled why so many people believe that wearing a mask during a respitory disease health crisis is such an affront to personal liberty.

    Did they write a song objecting to staying at home for a few days and sneezing into tissues when you have the 'flu?

    As was Ian Brown. Those guys can be quite amusing in their own slightly-strange way.

    Jim Corr's tinfoil hat credentials are already pretty well-known so no fucking surprises there.

    Well, I've just put my autographed Carol Decker poster through the shredder.

    (This is not entirely true. I'm merely thinking about it.)

    As an escapee from Salop I don't remember anyone there being particularly keen on T'Pau even when they troubled the charts.
