Support artists perogative i guess! Couldn't get your 'Tears In My Beer' song out of my head this week either (im serious). According to the book The Fall were never that well off. Skint in 2000. One of only 3 artists Ive seen live around 10 times (with their various incarnations).

Have you seen that BBC Arena docu mentary about The Fall, Fred? Worth a look, it's on torrent. He Is Not Appreciated.
I bet Smithy didn't like you drinking his beer, Rod, notorious turps nudger, don't think I've ever seen him sober.

Got BBC4 doc when first broadcast. Thanks for that though. Worth checking out the stuff on youtube. Some of it hilarious! I can recommend book to anyone - more about interesting, ‘alternative’ views on life / people.
Whisky drinker. Has 2 sides but luckily very friendly, not saying much (1990). Apparently, carries too much on shoulders – band taking advantage & works before and straight after performances.

Trouble is how do you define Punk? It is easier to define what is not!

I lost interest in punk rock about 1981 and got more into early rock,n,roll + Country and blues music*

Surprised you say that, I thought the Dead Kennedys would be right up your alley, bit of RnR in their speed punk.

Very musical for the speed they played though, and intelligent lyrics (IMHO).
