music in the shed

Being a stage manager in the latter half of the 1970's, witnessed some behaviors that were not acceptable then, and very less so now. Roadies, witnessed many post gig "interactions" and talked rarely, unless it was actions from performers one step beyond acceptable.

Death ensures the safety of vulnerable persons though not in the era of predatory behaviors ( local and an international act ), notable one person in particular died slowly, there was some justice.... mores the pity it was not in the early days. What brings it all back, when this particular band ( one member only as predator ) song comes on to the dance floor, and the punters jump around, singing the hook line.... they know little of what this songs represents. BTW the roadies did protect some when able, tough blokes, though did have standards, ethics well above some performers.

Somewhat of a jarring reply post, of what worth here, unknown. Frank appeared as "forthright" at a robust level, as i do in my life. j

One more post, Frank maintained and claimed sobriety his entire life, he smoked cigarettes like he had a chimney, 'Bobby Brown' is his commentary on sons of the American elite, I think. The complete album continues after 'Bobby Goes Down' it finishes with 'Yo Mama' one of FZs classics Warning some songs may be offensive

I reckon Bobby Brown should have an opportunity to put his side of the story , after all , it is his prerogative .........

Invented , but not necessarily constructed very much recently .... at least not since 1966 , here in the UK anyway ........ :(........ ( Velocette invented the positive stop foot gearchange , and seperate two - stroke oiling , but they haven`t made much since 1970 either ..... ) ........

As far as railways are concerned .... We used to have a local line which ran Weston - Clevedon - Portishead .... The tag line was " Get on the WC and Pee " ....... catchy or what ? .......
