Fascinating. I always say that you learn something new every day - if you're not careful!
Ian Dury and Plaistow Patricia were both new to me.
Another name new to me! And without using Google, "hairy rocker" conveys nothing to me except the sneaking suspicion that it doesn't mean Elvis Presley with long hair and a beard (the only meaning I can arrive at from known terms)....
You can see which parts of my education got missed out.
Memories! I lent mine and it never came back. Mrs EEEEe ...! Old Scrotum, the wrinkled retainer. Brainwashing House. Nice & Tidy (thwack!). A classic!I've not listened to my copy of Vivian Stanshall's 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End' for a while.
Makes you want to stand upright in your wheelbarrow and pretend you're Boadicea. Perhaps there might just be time to get a late stocking-filler CD to replace it?Memories!

A search on YouTube should find the album, I'll let you decide if it's a book, song or piece of music (that'll most likely make sense once you've listened to it). Probably best to add that it's not suitable for playing at work, in polite company, or in the presence of children (particularly intelligent ones), but by today's standards it's probably fairly tame and quintessentially 'English eccentric'; however, I think it would still qualify for a post-9pm watershed listing.The level of erudition to be found in F & C never ceases to amaze me. Another person and work I've never heard of. Book, song, film, piece of music?
