    I first saw him live in 1983
    He was stunning
    Reluctantly saw him again five years ago - worried that he'd lost it like so many others
    HOW WRONG COULD I HAVE BEEN!!!!!!!
    He was utter perfection
    He held the room in the palm of his hand for an hour and a half
    It was spellbinding
    He is the reason why I now write and perform my own poetry
    He makes it look easy
    It isn't
    Existentially yours........

    I love 'Evidently Chickentown' - Pure class, love the rhythm. JCC is a very talented wordsmith. Real people will still be loving this poem in 100 years. Got to be 'fucking' for me btw - so much more zing and impact with it. The whole piece ends brilliantly, last couple of lines. Wonderful.

    The bloody scene is bloody sad
    The bloody news is bloody bad
    The bloody weed is bloody turf
    The bloody speed is bloody surf
    The bloody foxs are bloody daft
    Dont make me bloody laugh
    it bloody hurts to look around
    Everywhere in chickentown
    The bloody train is bloody late
    You bloody wait you bloody wait
    you're bloody lost and bloody found
    Stuck in fu*king chicken town 😎
    The bloody pubs are bloody dull
    The bloody clubs are bloody full
    Of bloody girls and bloody guys
    With bloody murder in their eyes
    A bloody bloke is bloody stabbed
    Waiting for a bloody cab
    You bloody stay at bloody home
    The bloody neighbors bloody moan
    Keep the bloody racket down
    This is bloody chicken town...swap fucken for bloody depending where it's recited :)

      Maybe getting mixed up with being banned from the telly in 1981. I remember my Ma saying that she seen it once then never again.
