Beautifilul. Can't wait for the audiobook. "Tenement Kid" is a really great piece. I highly recommend this one. I adore Mr. G as a singer but Bobby should also narrate movies or something because listening to him talking is just pure pleasure as well.
Two wee boys that never came out their bedroom opened the door and made the biggest racket in music. The eighties were mushroom drenched in Scotland. The amount of acid stories I’ve heard from pals all come from those days. Thankfully for me I never had that cup of tea. I just knew if I did I would never return. Now I’m hearing Bobbies story. They were the days😂❤️
What a life! What a Legend 💫
just reading this book now-interesting to read that when gillespie was at school, a teacher , out of the blue, showed the class the movie "if..." by lindsay anderson- exactly the same thing happened at our school- i am about the same age as bobby gillespie , and one of our teachers showed my class part of the same movie (the famous scene where the pupils are shooting guns at all and sundry)- it was not part of any subject at school, and there was no discussion about what we had just watched- we just watched it and that was it- it was almost as if after being brainwashed by the school system for over 12 years, the educational system were prepared to give us a glimpse of subversive rebellion, and that was all we were getting- it was weird and i have always remembered it - it was also odd that this was in 1976, well before video cassettes were available, and i distinctly remember it being shown via a tv screen
Loved the book, Bobby.
I related to so much of what it meant to grow up in Glasgow in the 70s.
Thanks man.

The End
11.55...Bobby's expression like he's reading his words out loud for the first time and thinking "eh?" For better or worse, that's one soulful fckin' guy.
I remember trying to drive home once on acid and the rain turned into flies. Big f-ing flies that me and my mate Paul thought were getting in through the heater vents. I ended up mounting the pavement and hitting a lamp-post. Funny how everyone on acid seems to see swarms of bugs of some kind.
