I really dig Robert Plant, for starters he’s one of the all time best
vocalists of all times, of all time, and you’re not always seeing or hearing
from the guy, he keeps to himself and just continues to make good music.



He could buy me a Guinness and red lobster any day.

Joan A is from Handsworth.



Rankin Roger lives in Bearwood and is often seen whizzing around on his
roller blades



Jaz that's the one. I used to drive for a friends band called Onionhead and
he was in the Sandkings (all coming back now) who played with Onionhead
alot. I remember him being in the van a lot and seemed okay, talked about
his band all the time who were pretty dour I seemed to remember. Drove
Onionhead to dudley jbs for a show and met Robert Plant at the gig. He was
really friendly and happy to talk for ages about music. Wasn't mad on
Onionhead.

Man, how could I miss out the Beat??!! Didn't know about Joan A - wow!



Pass the dutchie will you?



That twat who did spaceman, he was in the mock turtles or sandhoppers -
something like that.

His name is Jaz Mann (funny that). He came in our shop (Modern Music,
Dudley) one day, pissed

a load of record company money away (I didn't mind!) & told me he was going
to be a star & I'd be

seeing lots of him. Bear in mind I didn't actually know the guy.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Smug prick.



Next time I saw him, he was on Brass Eye, having the piss ripped out of him
by Chris Morris, who

asked him if he thought his music could be circular & whether he could learn
to become a genius.

He totally agreed with Morris, including becoming a genius. Morris managed
to keep a straight face.



MUHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



A far cry from the days when you'd get members of Zeppelin in our shop.
