Fire Inside My Soul and You Must Be Prepared To Dream are just brilliant tracks

See if you can translate some of these words
We were in Nation once for the Chibuku 5th birthday event. We were upstairs on the balcony, which used to be the Cream VIP bit (but wasn't now). Groove Armada were doing Superstyling down below, the crowd was swirling like a choppy sea and I was very, very refreshed.
Frank Hargreaves, once of this parish, arrived next to me with Ian McNabb (The Icicle Works are in my top five gigs ever). Whilst carnage ensued around us, Frank & Ian serenaded me with 'Harvest Moon'. I'm to this day confused as to how & why.

Grew up eventually Jon but you will never do so. More power to your teenage hormones!
FWIW Charli XCX is utterly forgettable for me. Just ANO of several similar scantily clad auto-tuned pop stage writhers of her generation.
Neil Young never could sing much and age has not improved him. He is a great guitarist but not every song needs to be ten minutes with multiple, different guitar solos. He has some great songs, the best versions of which are nearly all live covers (Pearl Jam’s Rockin’ in the Free World, Dave Matthew’s Band’s Cortez etc.) . He was overcooked at Glasto IMO. Like you I turned over, just not to Charli in my case! Previous MessagePrevious Message
