Yep, me too. To be honest, they were equally as good. It was their first tour and their big break😊

I was surprised how tight they were. It was the original lineup and they had done the hard graft as a live band before linking up with Ms Hynde...

Saw them live around the time it came out - Brass In Pocket was #1 at the time I think. They were really good live. Support band were good too. Some young Brummies called UB40...

I've read up to Joe Country (Book 6) and I have the next two still to read on Kindle. We will definitely be watching Down Cemetery Road at some point, but I haven't read the book as yet. I see there are four books in that series...

Lovely. Two years ago we were flying home from LAX. Absolutely loved California. Hope we can come back one day.

He's a really interesting guy. There's a great episode of the "It Was What It Was" football podcast that explains his background in Australian football and how he played under one Ferenc Puskas as a young player. Which is why his teams play they way they do.

True. Followed now by two more stupid cards for Estevao and Sanchez. It's a real problem😑

Perfect timing. Slow cooker loaded, soup on the hob, coffee made, cannoli out, sat down just as the teams come outπŸ‘Œ

Absolutely. Paul is and was a career musician. I get the feeling with the others that they'd tired of "the game" before the split and didn't always have a great deal left to say. John had filled the hole in his life, and George had found spiritual fulfilment. Poor old Ringo was a lost soul.

Sometimes it needs an external force (i.e. you in this case) to remind us and rattle the proverbial cageπŸ˜‚
