"Oh, the snot has caked against my pants

It has turned into crystal"

They don't make first lines like that any more.

Ignore the annoying presenter, the performance is worth it.

 

Yes, I know Quiet Riot did a cover of this.

Well, my memory says so. So does Wikipedia.

 

Probably the lamest vocal intro in rock history, but I love this.

Exactly. Most of us have encountered that person at some point in our lives.

You may have a point. That chicken definitely looks underage.

Well, that's pretty much what the song was about.

Oh dear! This brings back memories of listening to Ed "Stewpot" Stewart's radio show on a Saturday morning when I was a kid. I'm not nostalgic enough to actually play the vid though.

Documentary evidence that the 1970s were more fun than the 21st century.

Love this! One of the best gigs I've ever been to was Pixies at the Brixton Academy, some time in the early '90s. Epic evening.

Lots of good choices from their first album. Then Came The Last Days Of May is my favourite.

RBR have a history of failing drivers, Perez is only the latest. Just look a how Albon has developed as a driver since he was kicked out and replaced by Perez.

They have a real problem on their hands next year as the performance gap between the top teams closes. If things stay as they are right now, all of their top three rivals (Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren) have a really solid driver line-up.

They are respectful to the original plots and very cleverly done. Quite dark as well, they're not playing it for laughs.

I think FOM have got themselves in a difficult position because they wanted a night race for the spectacle (so much more important than the racing). But doing it on the western side of America makes it tricky time-wise for their biggest audience. The ultra-late racing is probably a compromise that'll please no one.

Difford and Tilbrook are great songwriters.
