Just in case you're not aware of it Tony

There's currently an excellent programme on Rembrandt on BBC2

I am aware Ralph, as I watched the previous programme - "Penguin-Cam". (Excellent).

Before I could switch over, some posh bloke started waffling on about some painter or other. Have had to resort to my library of stored stuff, and am watching a documentary about Penn Station.

The Four Tops too David.

I've never heard gramps say a good word about Motown or Reggae.

Indeed The Four Tops and throw in Aretha Franklin too, and add a splash of Desmond Dekker and a large dollop of Cream.
My musical tastes range very wide.

Gramps has some very strange tastes.

Philistinissimus. Do you like The Four Tops or any of their oevre?

I'm watching my favourite Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone, defeating the Nazis. Yes. The Nazis. The Voice of Terror if you ever want to watch it. He was Sherlock when war broke out, so they filmed an episode in a contemporary setting.

It's loosely based on the story of Lord Haw Haw, with anti-British radio broadcasts scaring the public. A Google led me here:

I had no idea about his story. Wowzers!

Correct, and you never will.

I don't think we should be mentioning Robbie Williams in the same sentence as The Beatles. Talented he may be but his success seems to owe more to the Kevin Keegan work ethic than the natural talent of a Gazza or a Cantona.

That Golden Age produced three bands who can be said to have influenced most of what has followed them IMO.
The Beatles, The Kinks and The Who each left a major mark. The Who survive and still rank as one of the best live acts I've seen this century.

At the same time as the British scene was developing the rise of Tamla and of Chess records with  artistes such as Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell,  Sam Cooke,The Supremes et al created the template for today's RnB.
Do you have some faves from that sector? Reach Out (I'll be there); Heard It Through The Grapevine; Dock of the Bay and so many more

By the way, Dark Side of the Moon predates Take That by 17 yrs, and Robbie's solo career by a lot more.

I will reply tomorrow David, and put you right.

That 59 minute delay in his execution must have seemed like a lifetime.

Did you read the comments below the article? Some scary stuff there.

Amazing statement, have you been smoking pot?

Can't wait for the denouement

Amazing what an incredible power comes from freedom of speech.

Bobby, yes, that box set has my most watched DVDs in it (along possibly with Drop the Dead Donkey)

We didn't even mention Joey Barton

Or Vinnie Jones.

Now there's a man I REALLY don't like.

Martin Lewis?!

Another one to add to Camel's list.
