Remembering Andy Kershaw

Be glad for the pod has no ending! Now in our 20th year and, this week, ruminating fondly on the following …

… the “underhand” selling of Geese

… Morrissey’s absurd whinge about the Salford Lads Club photo

… Jay Leno’s $50 ruse to get comedy gigs

… when bands “didn’t even know what a hotel was”

… radio sessions in Andy Kershaw’s flat

… what’s the point of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

… when has any aspect of the entertainment business EVER been “fair”?

… “Four eyes, one vision!” Elvis Costello busking in Park Lane

… the great Supremes records after Diana Ross

… Focus, 10cc, Devo, Zappa, the Shadows and other musical dead-ends

... Ronnie Wood and … Beverley Knight?

…. “Shove off, Phil Collins! And have you got your Barley Sugars?”

… and birthday guest Stephen Lambe about why Focus are largely forgotten.
