I'm now 10 years older than the veteran blues singer, Ray Charles (1930-2004), when he made his cameo in The Blues Brothers (1980)
I hope to report back in 22 year's time to make the same observation about the veteran jazz artist, Cab Calloway's (1927-1994) turn in the same film. Fingers crossed!

We demand to know the real reason why between 1990 and 1992, an inexperienced sacked polytechnic lecturer was given a job at MI5. What are the Tories hiding?

Little reference to POTUS Reagan which tells us we are still placed firmly in the 1980s.
If this issue came out today, the top banner would read, "Move over, Don - Slippery Jim di Griz is back!" And then 2000ad would get litigated.

Picked up this last Saturday. Love that artwork!
One of the tracks gave me a proper 1970s Proustian rush, (which I rarely get these days). Stumped by what the tune evoked, I soon discovered it's the end titles music to Why Don't You..?
