Heartland

looks like i'll only be able to do one of the 2 london dates so, which one are most people going to? Most folk on here are going to both nights, think Lee said summat about football so he's missing Sunday or summat, generally it's a weekender though. Whichever night you come there'll be loads of us...

Many happy returns, chief!

Gary is running a caption contest on Twitter :D https://x.com/thegarymarx/status/1883928220833350049 SOUNDS headlines were always pretty good, but can you do better? Caption this. Best suggestion wins a set of signed postcards and a copy of the Green Ginger Jive album with original draft artwork. Be...

Gary told me later that evening that he'd had a whole thing ready to say after playing Heartland - about the forum and our community, but he was so emotional he totally got carried away by it all and, well, he forgot :lol: I didn't mind though - I was already almost in tears anyway. That would proba...

that was an amazing evening



absolute goosebumps moment here

Bloody hell.

Also, in a long overdue move that will surprise no one - though it may raise an eyebrow that it wasn't already the case - Pista is now an admin. Genuinely could not keep this place running without his day to day help, support, and whatsapp nudges to come fix stuff i just broke :lol: Thank you Pista ...

Ok, that section should be visible to all again now.

Sorry about that

Dammit

My bad.

When I created that section I thought I’d copied the permissions from one of the existing sections. Seems I didn’t

Will fix when I’m back at a pc in half an hour or so.

Sorry

Not sure, but there's also this tidbit

Randomly stumbled across this reference earlier. Call me uncultured, but I never realised where the name Ben Gunn came from... It's the name of a character in Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/treasure/summary/ Landing at the island, Captain Smollett devises ...

Both of them.

Thank you Quiff Boy. Did you recieve my message through mail?

oh, maybe not! when did you send it?

Incredible.

Both of them.

Doesn't mean the title wasn't a phrase he heard elsewhere and repurposed

Or maybe he saw the phrase, and maybe he didn't even like NY, so used it as another layer of dig at Wayne (who seemingly did like NY)

Or maybe we're reading way too much into this

That's entirely possible, given Neil Young's cultural footprint is visible in quite a few places within that scene/circle of friends.

Salvation and The Mish both covered NY songs, for example.

Good find.

"So I dyed my hair black and loved Marian more than Rick Astley way back then just because I lived close to the iron curtain and was afraid of the atomic bomb"

But how do you know for sure?

Welcome, regardless.
