Yeah, what a rebel he turned out to be . Him and Ice T, who winds up playing a cop in one of the most formulaic generic cop shows on TV. Radical.

Neither as bad as Johnny Rotten turning up on ads for butter and I'm a celebrity get me out of here.

But still, not exactly gangster/a behaviour.

Ah, random BBC Four music documentaries, the new nightclub on a Saturday night!

I really am missing live music at this point but I can wait another six months before I start getting irritated.

The Count was just amazing and I'm looking forward to the show about him. He was on a different level of talent and is rightly revered.

There was a pilot show hosted by Oscar Peterson which featured him in one segment and why a full series musical chat show never came of it I don't know. This is the clip with the two of them playing but they were talking and jamming and throwing ideas beforehand.

Looking forward to the Reggae Sky Arts one - great work Skid as usual.

The voice over after Prime Time said Bruce was gonna be on the Late Late tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear Ryan ask him if he's ever been to Ireland.

I have been kicking myself since Wednesday evening that I didn't mention this Buzz Aldrin fact

Seems Terence Trent D'Arby has cut off his dreads and become two people with this tune.

‘Hello’ by The Beloved - hands down, my favourite song that namechecks Cannon and Ball

Bald chap, ripped up The Pope.

And they had only just recovered from Beatlemania over there

Blimey, I remember this 'Instant Replay' tune. Shocking stuff. Early 90's was so dodgy!

PLAY THE CRAMPS!!

Norman Cook like Forest Gump. Turns up in the background everywhere.

At one point in the very early 70's Brush's band supported Hawkwind and were actually reasonably good. Mind you having Gary Moore and Philo as members they must have had something going on.

On that subject there was a good article in the The Guardian yesterday about Lizzy which is worth a read. After going down various rabbit holes reading the comments I found out the reason Lizzy supported Queen in 1977 was because they were huge Lizzy fans. Roger Taylor and Brian May used to go on post gig drinking sessions with them regularly which I found surpising.

Lindy Layton looks like a posh Chelsea heiress who has decided to slum it and go urban for some 'real life' experience.

Well Rochdale's finest's gone up the junction here.

When one reel to reel tape machine isn't enough lets use two - and put them facing the audience for added impact.

It's really like an updated Sergeant Peppers Album cover listing
