Haha! Rick channelling his inner Barbie. Marietta would have killed for hair like that. And I never really saw Francis as Action Man. Think Francis would have killed for Hair like that as well . 😀

Today is the birthday of Jon Lord. A great tinkler of the all manor of keys. Had such a great Hammond sound. Praise the Lord. I believe he was born on the 9th of June mate .

... do you think Richard Skinner ever wishes for more recognition as being the person who made the Intro announcement at Live Aid? Haven't found any obvious fact gaffs in the book though strange how that error persists in a few books and in the new book, with Tommy Vance being credited each time. Richard Skinner does the “ 12 noon and around the world “ ....bit Tommy Vance in his leather pants ( Russ n Jono ) , “ and now to ........ Status Quo “

Is your tailor short sighted ? .... your trousers never seem long enough When are you releasing Running Bear ? If PLC had evolved to touring and recording , would you have contributed ? Or would you have continued with your status quo ? Are you still a Palace fan ? If someone still smokes a couple a day , do you think it hypocritical to criticise somebody else’s lifestyle ? Do you still shoot clay pigeons ? How many records do you truly believe Status Quo sold ? Who / is / was the best manager Status Quo had / have and why ? Any unfulfilled ambitions musically ? Whilst in Status Quo , which year do you look back on most fondly ?

There he goes again on his own... Well not quite, complete with hired hands and electronic vocal "help". I was listening to Whitesnake in the car and it's never been the same without Micky and Bernie, not only guitar contributions but their superlative song writing. If only the band he took to America to make dollars had included Micky , Bernie , Jon , Ian and Neil . Who knows what they might have achieved ........musically I think they would have been better , though ironically probably not financially . To me they were up there with the giants of music upto Come An Get It , slipped a little with the next two albums , then went to chase the MTV dollar ........ a real shame

Are Jeff Lynne / ELO credited for track arrangement or given a mention for Mr Blue Sky sampling ?
There a whiff of a 1982 reject about this

Thank you for this! Great interview... talking openly about money and managerial issues / problems. No wonder the higher ups wanted him gone. Could listen to Alan talk forever about Quo... same goes for Rick I’ll echo that , and add , I would rather pay to listen to Alan talk about his life than Francis .

Probably not good business to blame poor ticket sales. 🙄 John should have asked Duroc for one of their statements regarding cancelling a show . One springs to mind , a clerical error has meant the band were double booked for the same night and unfortunately the NZ gig will be cancelled .......

Really disappointed, especially as all flights, hotels, car hire, etc. already booked for us. Jeez , I’m really sorry to read this . I hope you had insurance , and it will pay out . Feeling very relieved that I hadn’t booked anything myself , I was going to book this weekend .

Pretty sure I saw / read somewhere that Rick was trying , or had secured Robert Plant to sing on his solo album . Which song do you think Rick had in mind ? Or was he going to co write one him ? Off now to have a listen ......
