I second that!

It's amazing how from that first Pistols gig at the Free Trade Hall, the following bands were inspired from it
Buzzcocks
The Smiths
Ludus
Joy Division / New order
The Fall

and Simply Dreadful (via the equally mocked 'Frantic Elevators).

Mick Hucknall used to live in Old Trafford as I used to deliver post there but as soon as he "made it" the whole house had metal shutters installed so obviously he move ASAP if anyone knows where Mozz lived on kings road then it was about 10 mins good walk from there.

Have you seen Mick Hucknall recently? Time has not been kind to his face. He looks like Noddy Holder liking piss of a nettle!!

Talk about having your face dragged through 15 miles of shit?
