Scarifyingly brilliant. What'd Pete Townshend say about EC in '78 or so: "He's really just London Bruce Springsteen, isn't he?"JohnS wrote: ↑08 Oct 2019, 10:54amThere's some great stuff posted here - when do you ever see this sort of mesmerising energy these days? Or am I just getting old?

Seems like a lazy dig at rap. A lot of songs that mention footwear are abour pride and status, that mod thing of living well under difficult circumstances.

That Pete Meaden quote is "clean living under difficult circumstances". Doing the best you can within your means. Not spending money on the stuff you can't afford but looking the best in the stuff you can.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Oct 2019, 12:04pmSeems like a lazy dig at rap.

It's why the original mods wore parkas. Bought cheaply to wear over their smarter clothes and keep them clean.

Great stuff. Stipe has the weirdest charisma for a lead guy. Such remoteness. Engagement but at a distance. Especially as the guys around him are bopping around like Mexican jumping beans.

Annie's my favourite Squeeze tune. It's happiness.
