What we really need is a full curation of the archives.
Turn Marky loose on their archives. I'm serious here. He's got skill plus he operates out of love of the music, not ego.
I'd get right behind that but he probably hasn't got the right letters after his name.
How much would it cost to get him an OBE? :shifty:

Seems to be somewhere in the £1-1.5m bracket though i think the below example is for an mbe so you might have to add a further 50% for the obe or thereabouts.

Shit, sorry, Marky, we’ll have to be budget conscious and go for the MBE. Bake sale time, folks!

Plus, the only way they'd get to be a main stage headliner at Glastonbury would be to have Bruce or some other mega star stand in for Joe.
How advanced is that hologram technology?

You'll not be at all surprised to learn that Boris Johnson is a huge lifelong clash fan so I'd fancy some class of discount could be arranged.

I'd rather just get the geezer who played Joe in that crap London Town film than even have to think about that shit tbh. It's already being done though, right?

I’d bet a year’s worth of Olaf’s stickenflavourbars that he can’t name even one non-single.

I'd up the ante and say 2 years worth of Olafs stickenflavourbars to name 2 actual singles. If the uk had a functioning opposition, that would be the lead in the next edition of prime minister's questions, but we'll probably just get the usual flim flam about war and the cost of living.

He chose The Clash's version of "Pressure Drop" for his Desert Island Discs a few years back. I know people won't like it but even the Clash have fans who are cunts.

MacCartney's been duetting with that giant video Lennon (something John would find very funny, I'm sure) on this tour. I guess that's the best way of a Clash reunion, but I still wouldn't want it.

Someone told him to pick that. No way he knows that on his own.

I was only half joking when i said Johnson was, or claims to be, a huge clash fan. I dimly recall the fucker bragging once about Joe sending him a letter when he was employed by the Daily Telegraph and another typically hilarious story about him punching his sister in the face during an argument over the clash. But, yeah, every band has fans who are 24 carat cunts.

Remember David Cameron's love of Eton Rifles, that is beyond irony.

I enjoyed the absurdity of Johnny Marr publicly prohibiting Cameron from liking "This Charming Man."
