Why Lerner lost interest
« on: September 16, 2016, 12:23:30 PM »
A paragraph about the Villa right at the bottom, a load more about the Clash, the number eleven and the weather.

Cheers Dave, really enjoyed that. I've just this minute finished listening to him on Gary Crowley's Punk and New Wave show. Sounds like a great bloke.

I watched Foxcatcher last night and Lerner and John Du Pont are now merged in my mind.

And there was me thinking it was because he'd found one of his bank statements and noticed the decimal point moving inexorably to the left.

Literacy days over for you Dave?

Have to say a book by someone on Lerner's 10 years here would be very interesting stuff....

I think, Soccer HQ, unless you're trying to be particularly provocative, you meant to write 'literary' there!

Just when Villa are sucking the life out of me and I have avoided this forum for a while, I come back and find this. Fantastic stuff. I was at school with Dave Wakeling, but a few years below him. He put a few lines from our school song in a track called Ackee 1 2 3.

Memories of how Birmingham used to be, the Beat, the Clash and a passing mention of the mighty Villa it's about got it all. Never knew Wakeling was a Villa fan.

His band are playing the Robin this Friday and the Institute a week on Saturday. I've not been to the latter for many a year but the Robin is a fine venue and well worth a visit.

a friend saw them performing in NY a couple of weeks ago and said how good they were
