Remembering Lemmy!

“Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it’s all a game to me
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split, the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades”

Give a sneer and a nod to William Broad, a.k.a. Billy Idol. He turns 70. today.

I walked the world for you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

Happy 70th Birthday to Angus Young

“If you're having trouble with the high school head
He's giving you the blues
You wanna graduate, but not in his bed
Here's what you gotta do:
Pick up the phone, I'm always home
Call me anytime
Just ring: 3-6, 2-4, 3-6, hey
I lead a life of crime”

It’s not often you’ll see a review from us from Kidderminster given most bands stop in Birmingham or Wolverhampton to tick the West Midland box. But then again, Hayseed Dixie, the finest purveyors of rockgrass aren’t most bands. Whils

It was 20 years ago today that the Strawberry Fields Children’s Centre was closed forever.

“Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me”

Your back-door man”

Down the street
With your suede blue eye.. eyes
And every new boy that you meet
Doesn't know the real surprise”
