Wild memories. I'd add Patrik Fitzgerald to the list. Remember him getting beer-canned off stage at Reading by all the greasers after singing 'I've got a safety pin stuck in my heart, for you, for you.'
Excellent FRIP! Reckon the punk poetry is still alive and festering in the souls of the original audience... for me, punk poetry was first and foremost about the shared experience, the live performance, yocks, yells and the bearpit of YEAH RIGHT! JJC in 23 was as sparky as in 87. Could be the pharma, who knows.

Wonderful to read all this – the names I knew and the ones I didn't. Thank you.

John Cooper Clarke's "Snap, Crackle and Bop" with music by The Invisible Girls, remains a favourite of mine. I still sing along to "23rd"
He wears the look of false alarm like an old school tie
Someone ought to twist his arm. He doesn't try.
very enjoyable
