Can’t agree with the sentiment, but like given for the imagery

I guess I’d have dug the ‘panto’ aspect live as a teenage pot head but I tend to go with Zappas shut up and play your guitar ideal. Take away the lights / stage dancers / costumes / pyrotechnics or other prop devices and let your talent be the spectacle, 9/10 that’s whats going to move me.

It was ultimately a dead end, but the pantomime was cutting edge shit at the time. The use of video as part of the stage show too, which continues to this day. If the stage performance doesn’t take away from the musical performance, I don’t have a problem with it.

Has he ever done a duet with Kiki Dee?

Kiki isn’t a performance artist - She’s a singer.

Plays live is well worth a listen as an entry point and maybe as an exit too
Great album but the other stuff I never got into
I’m enjoying his new effort more than I thought I would. It doesn’t necessarily break any new ground (Road to Joy is quite literally Sledgehammer with tweaked lyrics) but he’s 73 so I’m inclined to let him off on that. The three album run from Melt though So is one I think most solo artists would be pretty fucking chuffed with tbh.

Beyond Sledgehammer I don’t think I’d recognise a PG song if it slapped me in the face.
Spotify here I come.

Solsbury Hill and “don’t stop” are the only other two I know!
Surely you can remember, I don’t remember
Games without frontiers was everywhere when it was in the charts too
I always remember hearing Red Rain for the first time and been blow away, tingles down the spine, hairs on end type thing.
