@evilsmiff I'd entirely forgotten about this song, thanks 😊
Although it has made me want to listen to the entirety of Substance '87

Great band. They were over hear only a month ago. Got to see them in Bedford and they were superb!

…and that’s a great album! Might do that next 🤣

@evilsmiff One of those albums that you put on from the beginning and listen right the way through, rather than track-hop.
Another thing on my list for next year's "how to spend your inheritance" plan - see lots of live music!

@fkamiah17

Great plan! 👍

Love live music but it seems to be a dying scene for most of those that are without big names.

I love they way a great band works with a crowd and the way they interact - so few do it really well.

I saw both Bob Dylan and Lou Reed (a year or so before he died) and neither made the least, tiniest effort to engage with the audience - none; not a fücking word!

In the case of Lou Reed, around 1/3 of the audience walked out before the 'go grab a drink quick' interval. Considering that a ticket for that particular gig was NOT cheap, that says something pretty negative about the quality of the performance!

Sad isn’t it that so many people who were once held as brilliant performers just stand there, night after night, not giving a crap for the money.

@evilsmiff @Paulos_the_fog Whenyou get told you're fucking amazing every time you open your mouth because you wrote half a dozen good songs 50 years ago and normally respectable authors and journalists all play emperor's new clothes when you get the fucking Nobel Prize, when you're sitting on a shit-tonne and still take a million to do a gig in front of a mass murderer, when you could probably piss on a beer mat and get an exhibition at MOMA .... your name's Bob Dylan and you're a wanker.

I find that a fair point yet year on year he’ll still get dredged up and interviewed and tour.
