ANOTHER SILENT WAY RE-BOOT

This was the first of the 4 night alternative rock festival at the Prince of Wales 
Conference Centre in London, besides Joy Division also Teardrop Explodes 
and Echo And The Bunnymen played.
"If I had a flair for understatement, I could say that Joy Division were good too. 
The truth is they were phenomenal - the most physical hard rock group I've seen 
since Gang Of Four. 
This Manchester band have been allowed to grow at their own pace, 
uncramped by commercial pressures. 
The result is that they've created a totally distinctive, 
cohesive sound over the last two years...
They have the spirit and the feeling." 
- Adrian Thrills, NME review 11th August 1979.

Bob reflects on the audiences booing!

 This always makes me howl with laughter!


Bobby reflects on the booing!

He memorised the places where they DIDN’T!!


“Texas, Atlanta, Boston, or in Ohio or Minneapolis  . . ."


“I mean they must be pretty rich to go some place and boo!”

I mean I couldn’t afford it, if I was in their shoes!"


"I figure there’s little ‘Boo’ in all of us!"

just for Fun and the sun is shining here! (finally!) Paul McCartney and Wings - Can’t Buy Me Love

It was Paul Simon’s 7th solo album, made during one of the most difficult periods of his life: his relationship with Art Garfunkel had dissolved, so too had his marriage to actress Carrie Fischer, and his 6th album, “Hearts and Bones” had the lowest sales of his career. Simon flew to Johannesburg to record for two weeks and flew some of the great musicians he met there to New York City to complete his 7th record. “Graceland” would become Simon’s best-selling record of his career (16 million copies), earning him a Grammy for Album and Song of the Year.
