Down At the Doctors.

No, - its not a case of Manflu, the need for more Viagra or a case of fallen arches, but the purchase of a "singles" collection by Dr. Feelgood that inspires this blog.

Without wishing to usurp Mr.D`s lyric of the day how about this for some gritty poetry (they would probably call it "rap" today.)

" Roxette, I gotta go away,
and leave you for a couple of days,
Roxette,
I don`t want no more of your tricks,

I`m gonna get some concrete mix and fill your back door up with bricks,
and you`d better be there waiting when I get my business fixed."

Thank you Canvey Island!

I went on my only all boys holiday, aged 18, and we drove through France, in a Beetle, without any money listening to only 2 cassette tapes, one by Police and the other by the Feelgoods.

It was a crap holiday but their album got us through it.

I was fortunate enough to see them in the late Seventies complete with Wilko Johnson and the now sadly departed Lee Brilleaux and they rocked! - a great gig.

A couple of years ago I saw the remnants of the band, (or should that be flotsam and jetson,) at a real ale gig and they were still excellent.

Timeless rock `n` roll, performed with great energy and feeling, and designed, as it says on the tin, to make you "Feel Good!"

Now with the possible re-formation of my band, this may be an opportunity to slip in a couple of their numbers into the set.

You couldn`t fail by opening with "She does it right" and ending on "Milk and Alcahol"

Anyone know a good harmonica player?
