Yeah, it looks like it'll be more harrowing than Steve Jones' memoir. We tend to think those who go into entertainment are drawn by celebrity, they pursue it, but is the norm actually escaping from an ugly existence?revbob wrote: ↑23 Sep 2022, 7:33amDamn, that has to be a tough read.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Sep 2022, 6:43amMiki Berenyi has a memoir coming out: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/ ... abuse-fame

I'm the worst at this, but you are right, it is very familiar.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 Sep 2022, 12:47pmHELP THIS IS MY WHITE WHALESilent Majority wrote: ↑23 Sep 2022, 8:23am

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It seems like a song from an old cartoon, like Warner Bros.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
oh my god it's so familiar, thanks for letting us travel with you to madness.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

I like that it has 1976 Mick and 1981 Mick. Joe looks a bit off too.

Will Damon Albarn be calling the band "The Good, The Bad & The Dead Queeen" from now on?

By law, do all old Queen records now have to be retitled King?
