How to Make Me Feel Old
Kevin Ayers is making a comeback. I always had a fondness for Shouting in a Bucket Blues - 'Sometimes I get too drunk,/I feel so goddamed low.' He also made June 1st 1974 at the Rainbow - ah, the Rainbow - with Nico, John Cale and Brian Eno, a platter that mattered in a not very good kind of way. But I hope the recent return of Take That and the imminent comeback of The Spice Girls have not turned his head. Old rockers may not die sometimes they should just fade away.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Ah, he 14 Hour Technicolor Dream at the Alexandra Palace. I managed to buy the Soft Machine's Probe album in Andorra of all places in 1969 and played it regularly at my DJ gig at the Redhill & Reigate Arts Workshop....Oh heady days...

Ah, those distant days when it was cool to be a Kevin.
