Blue Oyster Cult's masterpiece is the album "Secret Treaties".
The opening track "Career Of Evil" was co written by Patti Smith.
Never knew she sang it with them. Well, she did.

Fact is, if England were playing against Erling Haaland tonight we would still be losing 4-3.

It is now mathematically impossible for England not to win the next World Cup.

Another England game where the crowd have been silenced (not in a good way) and match commentary has been reduced to muttering and mumbling, desperately searching for positives.

Blue Oyster Cult were a terrific band so much more than "Don't Fear The Reaper".
Secret Treaties was their masterpiece. This track opened that LP. Insanely good lyrics by Patti Smith.
"I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep".

It is Keanu Reeves birthday. Here is when I met him to promote the movie Speed. Still pretty funny I think.

We met in 1979.
Last Saturday saw us 37 years married (at which time we already had two kids)

Me at the NME 1979. I'm 21.
My job was to go to gigs, attend after parties, album launches, get free LPs and fly about the world interviewing rock stars.
Trust me, being on TV later was small beer indeed.

Man United still looking like a stodgy old mid-table team. No real threat or flair.

Everyone explaining how the rules say no attacker can be within one metre of a wall with three defenders in it but nobody is saying, "Why? Why can't a player be within a metre of three players? Who brought that in? And what for?"

It is estimated that we now spend one third of our adult lives pouring over food packaging looking for Sell By Dates.
Orange Juice leads the way, hiding its info somewhere on the bottle in thin spidery script that, once located, has to be held up to the light like a mystic rune.

Just tried to buy a t-shirt featuring the band Kokomo. There is no company offering Kokomo album T-Shirts.

Watching a doc on how the Soviets pushed the Nazi's out of Russia in 1944 and, detailing German POW's, this shot came up.
I know this is not germane but seriously.
That's a weirdly long neck.

George Harrison was NOT stifled by the Beatles.
"All Things Must Pass" is a goodish single album.
After that there's not a great deal.
Love George but that's the truth.

It has taken me 52 years to realise that the third Roxy Music album (Stranded) fades in exactly where the second Roxy album (For Your Pleasure) faded out.
Subtle that.
