It was full when they DIDNT have visitors - remember a long walk from Ronnie Scotts to Crouch End - took us 3 hours I think.

Do you remember when we all went to see 'Visitor 2035' upstairs at Ronnies?

Prog-rock at its very worst!

Have you ever been to the White Hart in Pulborough - apparently the Visitor 2035 guitarish plays there sometimes!
But yeh - they were sh*t tho.

No, I haven't, and I think I might avoid it now!

Don't try going to The Swan in Pulborough ! It ain't there anymore. A lovely river-side pub that is now very expensive flats.

I didn't think the pub itself was all that lovely.

The setting, however, is another story.....

The stting was brilliant, the pub looked a little er... knaff...

It's a shame there's no longer a pub there, though.

One of my favourite dog-walking routes is from Amberley to Pulborough, so it was always nice to be able to have a pint or two before catching the train back to Horsham.

Arrr - Amberley !

Remember toting a bren-gun all round there on a CCF excercise.

I'd forgotten that we sung that one - not surprised we dropped it tho...
For some reason my 12 year old daughter knows that song.....worrying that is.
What's your dog called?
It was indeed written for Robin's benefit....

Can your daughter do the accent??

My dog is called Eric, by the way.

Shame it's knew, not know - haven't changed for the worse and strangely also have a 12 yr old daughter

No dogs though - just 2 cats from the Battersea Dogs Home

One is thin, tabby, female, was friendly, now only interested if you are holding a piece of meat

The other fat, black & white male used to scratch anyone who touched him is now the friendly one, but does sleep all the time when he's not hanging around the foodbowl

Why were they ever popular?

Anyone?
I think so... depends on the generation - you may be too young to appreciate them!

I know quite a few people who were brought up listening to The Eagles, and still listen to them now. Much better musicians than much of the recent stuff anyway.

Oh Emma J you need to catch up

Try chucking all eagles in the bin where they belong

Then get something by Grandaddy, maybe Flaming Lips, maybe Ladytron
and if you like old geezers try the Johnny Cash American recordings - and there's Nick Cave

Lord theres so much better than the eagles

Sorry

but it's true

I was into Soft Cell at CH

Other favourites were Howard Jones

Duran Duran

and later on at Horsham Sisters of Mercy and The Damned

The Eagles deserve a pedestal, HT

Whilst Johnny Cash and Nick Cave certainly need preserving, some of the other 'artistes' you mentioned remind me very much of the noise hairdryers make

Possibly similar to Neanderthal 'music'? You know, banging sticks on an old animal carcass. Having said that it sounds much more like your cup of tea!

Ok DARLING if you think you like REAL music

Why not get really exciting - follow your baser instincts - enjoy Phil Collins, why not go to the sewer and enjoy Barry Manilow, Hoolio Inglesias, Richard Clayderman.

God help us - the young have no taste and no hunger for education.
