This is great news!
BTW, what was Terry's last studio recording before he switched to spinal discs? I believe it was the Bay City Rollers album circa 1993. Everyone should have that along with the Cherry Bombz EPs and the Black Sabbath's Eternal Idol live in Poland bootleg.

The song doesn't really do anything for me, but more power to Topper.
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

Hey, I have toned it down a lot since high school. The amount of air drumming has also decreased significantly.
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.

Man, that song is dire.

Nice to see Topper's back in action, though!
