Lee Dixon might prefer the 'other side' g3MtaVS60eY

Bob Marley's dad was a white captain in the British Marines, who's family came from Essex.

9cc, according to 10cc, but they wanted to go 1cc better

Manson also wrote a song for the Beach Boys, which I believe they even recorded

His Little Feat were on the same bill with The WHO (put the boot in) at Charlton in 1976 too - might have been around the same sort of time they recorded with Rob Palmer?

I saw him play with Vinegar Joe at the Ali Pali. There was a festival in August 1973, the days I went were headed by TYA, and Wishbone Ash on another night. There were some quality lower-division bands there too, notably Glenn Cornick's Wild Turkey (awesome twin lead duelling guitarists), and...

Maybe he had some "shit hits" in the UK? His musical history as a solo artist features some non-hits that are superb. "From a Whisper To a Scream", A cool version of "Pressure Drop" "Johnny and Mary", "Looking For Clues" and the more obvious "Every Kinda People" which in my opinion rates as one...

Can she blow a mean flute?

a GREAT band that cut about 5 singles, the guitarist John Cann went on to join Andromeda, and then Atomic Rooster. They were recording 'HHSL' when Beck was in the same studio, apparently - and when they issued the single they found Beck's copy came out in the same week! Naturally they were not...

'Oscar' is indeed aka Paul Nicholas, and I think his dad was a producer. Beusalinck appeared to be the family name. Oscar was recording on the Reaction lable, which was created by Robert Stigwood for The WHO so they could get away from Shel Talmy and Brunswick Records - and Oscar subsequently...

Jonathan King was the chap who heralded the career of Genesis, producing them and publishing the songs on their first album (at least). Dodgy character, and probably best left in the band's obscure history. Such strange people are found throughout music though, with Phil Spector and Joe Meek...

Monica Danneman was living with the guitarist from The Scorpions when she eventually died by suicide. Her death was linked to the case she lost, that she was to be Jimi's wife, if he hadn't died (in her bed) himself.

Rod Stewart dwelled for a while, on a hippy houseboat in Shoreham near the footbridge, by 'The Lady Jane' boozer. He then went to France, and got deported for being disorderly or taking drugs or something. The houseboat was vilified by the neighbours, who were far too hoity toity to suffer...

At the time it was recorded, Sid bloody Vicious wasn't even in the band! Remember Glen Matlock? As for Jonesy playing bass.....it's dubious that he even played his instrument of choice on it. I did ask John if Chris Spedding was the actual session man on the LP, and he declined to...

On that note..... I knew a gal in LA who had a line from a Jackson Browne track 'Red Neck Friend' on the bow of her boat. She said she loved JB, so I curiously asked her what she thought 'Red-Neck Friend' was about. She was jolly upset, I must say, when I broke the news to her that it was about...

Yes I heard something along those lines! Bizarre though isn't it? Maybe the weed helps him concentrate still though! :p

Tull's debut single was erroneously credited to Jethro Toe. Probably done over the phone and mis-heard at the lable printing. It was on MGM Records, before they transferred to Island Records. Island however, credited the songwriting to 'Ian Henderson' on a subsequent single.

As it 'appens, the intrepid NMH had to re-write one entry on Wikipedia, when it transpired a video I worked on had been cited as filmed in The Filmore East NYC - when I'd worked on the bloody thing myself - in Downtown Los Angeles. Not everything on Wiki is gospel, but then how could it be?

Ahem....I doubt that. More likely his love of the demon skunk-weed! 'Skunk' turned in a studio jam at Cherokee Studios Hollywood, behind a Formula 1 racing driver Jeff Gordon that I attended. He was poor, maybe disinterested. The better player that evening was an amazing lad who was, to all...
