this is priceless! Joe strumer and rick wakeman....lol
Nick is off his trolley but he is still absolutely wonderful to watch. His book about the 70s is a phenomenal read. I've read many books about the whole punk explosion in London from 75-77,biographies of the Stones, Who, Hendrix, Clapton, Pistols, Bowie, Iggy, Ian Curtis, The Clash, Sid, John etc... You'd be reading Ozzy's book and he mentions Alan Wakeman and Yes recording the Topographical Oceans album, meeting Jimmy Page before joining New Yard birds, or you read Nick Mason's book and there's a story about any number of 70s faces...even Boy George talks about punk and getting a mohair jumper from Vivienne Westwood & Malcolms shop...
Great, many thanks.
This is gold!
Rick the grammar school middle class boy dreaming about meeting the Queen and Joe the private school bourgeois dreaming about machine gunning his House Master. Classic.
Joe was a beautiful man ahhhh
You tell ‘em Joe. And Nick Kent. The best dressed man in town….
This seems like nothing more than an upper-class debate in the cafeteria over lunch at Cambridge/Oxford
Funny how Kent acted like a rock star.
I saw the full version of this the other day. I can't find it now. Anyone know where it is?
God he looks like Pete Doherty
Joe is so handsome!
Joe strummer the rich kid
The music reporter is a despicable personification of all that was wrong with the musical press back then. They were so spoilt for choice and propped up by a privileged system they began to act like rock stars and musicians themselves. Bands like Queen and Duran Duran were habitually hounded and berated for the dumbest of reasons, while later utterly inconsequential "hip" bands were lauded to the skies. Compared to this intoxicated judgmental poser Strummer comes across almost like an academic.
"Joe Strummer who didn`t go to The Royal College Of Music",but did go to a very expensive English Public (Private) School and is here desperately trying pretend he didn`t...Such a fake.
Why isn't Rick Wakeman wearing his Wizard Robes?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He should really be wearing his Wizard Robes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
