Well even tho i was in two minds whether to go or not..
I had a great time, got to talk to some heroes of mine-
Georgie Fame, John Fogerty,Jimmy Page etc..
Loads of very nice people and i managed to stay reasonably sober even tho there was a FREE BAR!!!!
Like to thank Lynvals daughter Michelle and her boyfriend for letting me crash on their sofa..
Great getting a boat down the Thames instead of a taxi HOME TOO...
I FEeL TIrED

It's great to see even six of The Specials stood on the same stage again. And I can't believe you stayed sober with a free bar. You've kind of gone down in my estimation now  |

WOW.. Congrats Roddy.. Looks like Weller and Lydon are about to make out.. Is that really Paul Weller or Ron Wood? Did Ian Anderson have that problem of.. "Snot running down his nose" Lemmy is lookin good.. He needs to stop by Radiation Villa's and get a little sun.. He's looking mighty pale or maybe he is about to be "Killed by Death"?..

Judy Collins is looking good. My sister listened to her records a billion years ago.

You can just never find the right words to describe Strummer. I guess it was a privaledge just knowing him..Right Roddy?

Ive gone out drinking with Joe ,n, Roadent 76/
Tour supported the Clash 79/ (Specials)
met him backstage at Clash London shows early 80s
And I didnt know him at all?
Maybe the couple of years age difference?
But he always asked how my current solo band was doing*
Pity i wont ever get the chance to know him now.

He was the same age as Pauline. And my Dagenham friend Richard, sounded like him too. |
