BBW, if you were a bit smarter you'd have done 2 (Tone)

[red devil]

The Specials were brilliant, shame they can't kiss and make up with Jerry Dammers.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think...

[????]

Agree Red, loads of Fred Perry too, took me back to my youth

*does moonstomp*

[????]

Neil Young doing sterling work too

[????]

I suppose he's been playing for over 40 years...no wonder he makes spotty 20 somethings from Sheffield look 'a bit shit'

[Keef]

Just a shame about the bloody presenters!

[????]

Agree Keef - I was even seeing if you could email the BBC website and get the fuckers off! Still loving Neil Young though

[Keef]

Did you see what he just did to that Les Paul though? I could give that poor thing a good home!

[????]

yup

[Jeremy]

Watched some of the Specials set in the Hermits Cave earlier... looked good.

JD has probably just been more careful with his money than the rest of them. But who really cares about the keyboard player anyway?

[MrBen]

Bit of a "moment" right at the end of Neil Young I thought...

[red devil]

Dammers was the driving force behind The Specials, writing most of the songs and was also involved in the production side. I just thought it was a shame they couldn't sort out their differences (was it over money?) - life's too short etc.

Annywaay, does anyone know what's happened to their old trombone player Rico Rodriguez? The last time I saw him he was in the Jools Holland band...

[Asset]

how the mighty fall.....

[Keef]

Rico was on the Jools new year show singing L.O.V.E ska style. It was cool.

[charliecharlie]

Jerry Dammers always was a difficult man so I can understand the fall out...

mate of mine was with him for years and he was a grummpy ol' b*gger

sorry folks...I'm a visual mood this morning...

[Jeremy]

My keyboard comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek... the keyboard is one of my instruments, and I've always found it harder to get recognition playing keyboard in a bad compared to when I've been playing other instruments. I know Jerry was a pivotal member (maybe the main songwriter?)

Rico was an unofficial member... I always thought of him more as an all-round ska and reggae legend who made the odd guest appearance with The Specials. Besides, he's an old man now.

I totally agree..

[MHD]

Go on the Specials, Ghost town what a tune

[Keef]

Spinal Tap just played, I look forward to seeing the highlights of that.

[red devil]

Keef, the Beeb have already shown them playing their classic Stonehenge, accompanied by a couple of dwarf druids running around an inflatable Stonehenge...priceless

[Keef]

Brilliant! I'm looking forward to Big Bottom!

[woofmarkthedog]

When's Jacko on ?

*ah.........erm......oh I see.....*
