And don't sell classic albums to a mate. Like I did with Rumours on vinyl !

I was in HMV yesterday and at the till there were a few CDs on sale. Best Of Fleetwood Mac. I sold my Rumours album so haven't got any of their music. Anyway I bought it and it's great to hear their classic tracks again.

The Boat still going.

Geoff Thompsons book Watch My Back. Coventry most violent city in the UK at that time.

I laughed at the bit violent at times. Most weekends were violent ! I recall having words with a doorman at Tiffany's and got battered by him and his mate. Now I'd have reported it but back then it was one of those things !

Looking back our city centre was lively and loads of places to go. Now there's not a lot.

Every Xmas Eve for years a load of us met in the Alhambra, then on to a pub crawl in the town centre. Great crack !

The Climax pub was on the left on this picture,the Thistle further down.

Jolly Colliers pub on Woodway Lane. Aged 15 and drank pints of mild. The landlord knew I and my mates were at Caludon Castle school, but still served us.

Love the singers voice on a Sound Of Silence. First time I heard it I knew it was a classic cover. The original is great, but Disturbed have made it even better !

They play this often on Planet Rock. Like you say it's a spine tingler. A bit of a masterpiece !

Alien Ant Farm doing Smooth Criminal. Great version.

Mr Tambourine Man- The Byrds. Original Dylan. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself- White Stripes. Original Dusty Springfield. Whisky In The Jar - Metallica. Original Thin Lizzy.

Fire and Water favourite ever album. I too never saw Free, but have seen Bad Company. Never tire of hearing Alright Now !

What a voice ! Blues and Rock combined ? I mentioned to somebody recently that Shooting Star is great track by Bad Company. He said its a tribute to Paul Kossoff a founder member of Free. Didn't know that.

Got another Muse album : Origin of Symmetry. Plug In Baby, is a well known track on it.It's okay. Just got in and put on the Best of Bad Company and Free. Absolutely brilliant. Two of my all time favourite bands. Paul Rodgers has to be one of the best singers of all time.

Check it out its brilliant. Even Nine Inch Nails said its a great cover. I watched a concert by Roy Orbison the other night, had guests with him Springsteen, Tom Waits, Clapton,and many more. Great performer and is Pretty Woman one of the best pop songs ever !

Have you ever heard Johnny Cash doing : Hurt ? Nine Inch Nails did the original. Think it was Cash's last ever record.

Its not long finished. A small gig at Abbey Road studios. Bono gets some stick but I think he's okay. A customer today gave me a Christmas tip. Not money but to my surprise he gave me a Led Zeppelin LP ! Early one titled : Presence. He knows I like rock music and said if I want to sell it go...

Anybody watched U2 just now ? I've seen them live at Wembley and Milton Keynes Bowl, and to me they are at their best in a big arena. But they are a great band.
