As a young buck, I did what many can also claim to have done; I shunned the call of education and swore blind I’d be a rock and roll star.
So I dusted off our old lodgers Framus bass guitar – with only 3 strings and you had to drop it on the ground to get it to work – and put my schoolbooks away.
Now as I sit in middle management, I can safely say, I regret nothing, and I’m even forced to re-enforce this by listing the things taught to me by rock and roll.
So sit back, turn up your stereo – and realise that yes, you may need long division now, but you took a shot at stardom, and that my friend, is to be commended.
Things Rock and Roll taught me.
1: Avoid the cinema – you’ll get chocolate stains on your pants.
2: The night shall be reserved for either, running in, dancing in or feeling the power of.
3: We all now know what it means, to walk along this lonely steet of dreams.
4: The waiting, is the hardest part.
5: Avoid the hotel California – because once you check in, it’s a bastard to get out.
6: No point in school – its out for the summer.
7: You don’t like school, You don’t like work, Pick up the telephone and tell the boss he is indeed a jerk.
8: You can actually build a city on rock and roll.
9: It’s possible to make love like a fool
10: in the event of any crisis – go ahead and jump.

well said my good fellow. Also, as Smelly said on his recent blog entry - "Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man". Even those uptown girls
...and, apparently, God gave Rock'n'Roll to ya' all!
That feckin uptown girl.
rumour has it - she's shacked up there in an uptown world.
although, I'll wager she's not met a downtown guy.
And I'll put my house on the fact that her ma never informed her as to why?
I have to agree with Divinyls. I do indeed touch myself.
Ah, there's my coat. Thank you Jeeves.
Rock is more than a childhood flame. I mean look at Chris DeBurgh, he's still pushing his playdoh through the speakers.....I should give him a shout.
