My generation - the Who (for Keith Moon)

Joe
Linlithgow

For his wild hairstyle, I commend

Roy Wood

to the house.



Angel Fingers is a great tune.



Indeed it would have satisfied Tuesday's theme also. If you were a young child who ate pudding first then went for the fish course.......

The planned get together this weekend will be postponed due to it only suiting 3 people. Maybe later in the year :-)

Steve Tyler's always been a bit of a wild one.
Aerosmith Dream On
is sublime.................

Tupac Shakur California Love
Not a major hip hop/ rap fan, but you can't not represent this genre for this show. And this one is very catchy. Which may not be a recommendation.

Amy Winehouse Back To Black
Love her.

WEDNESDAY

Possum was a legendary wild man and heavy drinker. He once rode a 10 miles to the nearest bar because his wife had hidden the keys to every car they owned.

When Pete Townshend played him Substitute for the first time he said that the drums were great and asked who played them.

HMP Pentonville anybody...听

Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers served his sentence for drug possession, Hangin' Around.

a very touching duet from a very wilde family..........

kim and marty singing.........sorry seems to be the hardest word.

now if only all these other wild things had taken up gardening as a hobby......

cheers frae the 'dale

Did the Stones ever get nicked at one time like the Stranglers?

You'll recall French police arrested the band for allegedly starting a riot at their show... Nice in Nice

Angel Dance - Robert Plant and the Band of Joy

#11 I'll tell you when I've finished the book. It begins in America with the Stones being named officially as the most dangerous rock-and-roll band in the world, the State department noting riots, civil disobedience, illicit sex, and violence across the United States

An' the Mars Bars???

Apologies Paulo, I must have forgotten that was happening.. I'm up for whatever is next though.

I'm off to the Old Fruit Market on Friday evening to see Hidden Orchestra. I can hardly wait.

I don't mean to be po-faced but I'm having a little difficulty with this theme: celebrating what is often a profound inability to cope with ludicrous circumstances - Syd Barratt, who took so many mind altering drugs, it altered his mind permanently? The list is endless.

And, I've always been pretty unconvinced about the 'wild ones' - nine tenths of it is hyped up by the recording industry in cahoots with a cruel media who want to squeeze every sale by exploiting artists and putting them through the wringer for their own ends.

Amy Winehouse springs to mind.

When their 15 minutes is up they are thrown to the wolves. Any wonder some lead unhappy, circumstance - led 'wild' lives?

Consequently, the ones I most admire are the ones who should be nuts but stay sane, like McCartney.

Just about everyone from the 60's fits this theme: far from being 'wild' they were mercilessly exploited.

I don't know where to begin: how about a tale of two Glasweigans: Jimmy McCullough wrote the Wings number 'Wino Junko' about Jack Bruce - yet, within a year or so, he too would succumb to an excessive drug habit. Jack had to leave the country to get away from booze & drugs and was lucky to get the liver transplant that saved his life.

Jimmy's fabulous song Medicine Jar - Wings stands as a tribute to his talent, cut short at 26, but ironically is an anti-drugs anthem.

After Cream broke up, Jack Bruce, Tony Williams and Jimi Hendrix were due to start rehearsals for their new band - but a week before they started, Jimi died. Jimi Hendrix, according to my reading, was a sensitive kinda guy who happened to die by accident but the wildness of his playing has been translated as a metaphor for his life - but he wasn't 'wild' in that sense.

So much of this theme is the celebration of circumstances that end in tragedy, I find it hard to be enthused... maybe I'm just tired.. let's see if I feel less po-faced tomorrow....there are some great Keith Moon stories...

Bryan, I've been requesting Medicine Jar for months now... I think its time the nation heard one of Glasgow's finest.

Failing that,of course, there's Tickets To Waterfalls - Jack Bruce

regardez youse

At the age of 77, Willie Nelson was arrested on drugs charges as recently as last November...Steven Tyler's no stranger to the excesses of the Rock and Roll lifestyle.

Put them together...'Once is Enough' - Wille Nelson + Steve Tyler.

BTW It's worth watching this season of American Idol simply to watch Steve Tyler on the judging panel...he's completely, wonderfully mad as a box of frogs!

The voice of

#14 probably the least of it, but first chapter aside, Keef's only a wee lad in Dartford at the moment and there's no Mars bars in the index...


Guns & Roses - Knockin' on Heaven's Door


The Doors - Love Her Madly

Still in the box at that point in time no doubt... Taxi for Faithfull!











Don't answer the call Scotch.

#7 - Glen: Brilliant! Substitute would be good too!

Also,
Goodbye - Steve Earle
Waitin' around to die - Townes van Zandt
Life's been good to me - Joe Walsh
Paranoid - Black Sabbath (for Mr O)
Cocaine - Eric Clapton

I'm with you on this Henri, I only listen to refined artists :-)

Hmmm slightly peeved that one of my all time favourite artists has had her reputation sullied indeed tradusced by any mention of confectionary. A truly fascinating character who has been to the edge and back several times but who has survived. Any radio show would be enhanced by her late 70's early 80's trio of lp's Broken English, dangerous Aquantinces, A Childs Adventure. If you like the Grace Jones material check these out.

My favourite Marianne track:

Marriane Faithful - Times Square

Oh and seconding Joes suggested Steve Earle track. The perfect choice and if he's not included in this theme.....

I once turned up to a deserted Candleriggs to see Steve Earle. Turned out he'd been jailed in America.

Janice and Jimi obviously had limits - death. Like Henri I would take no pleasure in celebrating the drug and alcohol abuse responsible for so much crime and misery. It's simply not glamorous or funny.

Wildness on stage is another story. Jerry Lee Lewis, miffed at being second on the bill, set fire to his piano on leaving the stage and said to the star, "Follow that, Chuck."

'Beware of the Flowers ('cause I'm sure they're gonna get you, yeah)'. ... John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett
Famous for 'live' performances which offer the propensity for personal injury.

Tis a mighty fine tune too, and worthy of an outing on a night such as this!

#2 second angel fingers again.
It knocked that other wild man of rock Donny Osmond off the No.1 spot

#15 No worries> Bad time of year. One or two of us might go into Glasgow on sunday for a pint instead

#25 :-D

Touch Me - The Doors

When Jim Morrison sung that line there must have been a lot of ladies who took him at his word, he had around 20 paternity suits outstanding at the time of his death, allegedly.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Bon Scott apparently choked on his own vomit but the official cause was death by misadventure.

AC/DC - 'Touch Too Much'

#29

You can drop the "allegedly" - you can say what you like about the dead.
are attractive targets for such claims.

KISS - Say Yeah

Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Crazy Horses

and, of course, seconds for Roy Wood. 'Surely to goodness' it's time?

Cocaine Blues: John Martyn

Silly Thing: The Sex Pistols

Alternative Ulster: Stiff Little Fingers

The brilliant James McMurtry: We Can't Make It Here Anymore

or a fantastic Steve Earle track: Amerika V 6.0 (The Best We Can Do)

"I see your pill's arrived, Keith."

The Old Rugged Cross - Daniel O'Donnell


Wild? You don't know the half of it! Daniel went to Galway in order to earn a degree in Business Studies. He didn't complete the course!

Aye, sure, they breed them wild in Donegal, so they do!

;o)

#30 ooops

The recent decision by the Canadian authorities to ban Dire Straits鈥� Money For Nothing from the airwaves after 25 years of almost constant airplay, has made me wonder if there might not be an opening here for us.
As far as I鈥檓 aware it took only one complaint about an offensive word in the lyrics to bring it down.
I鈥檓 currently scouring a handful of songs from those prog rock giants, Queen, in the hope I find something that might offend in these PC gone mad days we live in.
Other Bloggers may want to have a look at some Blondie songs and the whole Proclaimers鈥� back catalogue. Once you have something send your song and offensive lyric to sp.info@scottish.parliament.uk

AFR why on earth would that be moderated....

Move It - Cliff Richard

Bryan I think you might have been a little unfair on Cliff's reputation as a wild man.

Here are some quotes about Cliff:

"He was an absolute madman on the rugby pitch. He would go for you and his whole intention was to get you."

"He was terribly aggressive. He would go in hard. No one wanted to get tackled by Harry Webb, as we knew him in those days. He didn鈥檛 mind getting dirty."

And from the man himself:

"I learnt that if you got in quick, you could inflict damage, even on a big guy. I'd go in with all fists flailing."

#39 re- #38

Ye of little faith Norrie.
SP must have approved.

#38 Methil no more.....

Joe Cocker - Unchain My Heart

Glen I am not glamorising him but....

Merle Haggard - (jail, escape, shoot policeman, jail etc) - I'm a Lonesome Fugitive

Anything by Morrissey, those daffodils could have had somebody's eye out!

Natalie Cole - 'Wild Women Do'

Nothing further to add this time 鈽�

Ms Cole's lawyers will be in touch Billy :-)

She's not dead yet (see #32)

50 posts in and two moderated already. When's the theme celebrating the wild men and wonen of the blog?

#51 Her battle against drug addiction is detailed in her autobiography 'Angel On My Shoulder'.

What do I know? I don't understand the offside rule 鈽�

Well, I suppose one way of figuring out who qualifies is to see what comments the moderator takes out - but it makes for a boring show if anything worth hearing about is already deleted...

...and, on checking out the 'Mars Bar Party' Norrie will be pleased to know this is just exactly the kind of salacious media made up nonsence I was referring to above. Inspector Slipper, I think it was, who was always accompanied by the News of The Screws every time he busted a pop star.

Makes you wonder about Tommy ...you see.. if only Tommy had been a pop star or a poet like Burns or his namesake, Sheridan...yer poets can play naked leap frog and people form a queue to join in - wheras, if a politician or a football pundit or me does it we are doomed, as Pte Fraser would say:-)Mind you, as Oscar Wilde put it 'never defend a liable action if its true'.. and he should know.

The Who found themselves in Heffner's mansion where the rules concerning Bunny Girls were strictly 'look, don't touch'. Keith Moon did an Andy Grey, but worse, to which Heffner responded "That's just a small mark in my little black book, Keith, baby".

Realising he hadn't gone far enough, Moon responded by carving his initials out on Heffner's magnificent dinning room table and when discovered asked "What does that constitute in your little black book, Hef, baby?

A lifetime ban, it turned out.

There is, of course, poor Kevin Godley of 10CC, who, on taking possession of Keith Moon's former home was startled to discover a Rolls Royce parked in the swimming pool.

Big 2nd for the other Who suggestions but I'd like to hear

My Wife - The Who

a rare John Entwhistle number which is especially appropriate tonight as it describes the kind of domestic meyhem that these people live with.. good tune, great story, and worth a listen

But I still think we should hear Medicine Jar - Wings

#54 - Leaving out the bit of my post which (I think) resulted in its removal (I'll know I'm correct if this post remains untouched):

Re#27 -

Is Jimmy Osmond one of the wild men of pop? Those of us old enough to remember the vid which accompanied "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" will perhaps the flying spittle into the TOTP audience. This action was subsequently copied by the Sex Pistols amongst others. Could it therefore be argued that Jimmy was the original punk and so qualifies for "Wild Man" status? We should be telt......

Should have read "...will perhaps recall the flying....etc"

and i remember I once went to see a Scottish folky called Hamish Imlach.

He was so plastered he fell of the stool and could barely sing. It's a long time ago but I think the gig was abandodned after that. Anyway, I can't remember anything he did.

#53 two women sitting in a mixed works canteen.

'men don't even know how to boil an egg ptoperly'

Should they be sacked?

Methinks workplaces are becoming very dangerous places just now.
Could this end the banter between GIO presenter and producer in case of an unintended faux pas?

#58 I'll check with my solicitor before answering that...

Bryan doesn't need a producer to come up with unintended faux pas 鈽�











Allegedly 鈽�

#39

Presumably the disparaging word f----t.

#40

Haven't heard Wild Man Fischer since John Peel. He seems to have lived up to his name.

#41

I'm not ashamed to say I went to see Cliff last year. I was the youngest there.

#45

Merle has reformed. He can hold his head up and be proud of who he is. (His leather boots are stylish manly footwear, too.)

During their '80s heyday the Go-Go's demonstrated that they could do just as many drugs and party just as wildly as the boys did -- it would be great to hear their classic "Head Over Heels" or "Turn To You."

#58 Yes for failing a simple spelling test. I can't abide lazy spelling or grammar....

#41
Steve in support of your defence of Cliff as a wild man 鈥� lets not forget his psycho period when he sang 鈥淕onna lock her up in a trunk, so no big hunk can steal her away from me鈥�.
Now he may have been talking about Tiffany (Chucky鈥檚 wife) and not a girlfriend, but pretty mean stuff nevertheless.

#43
Might work, DC

#60
That鈥檚 the one Glen. Mentioned 3 times I think. Were you unaware of the story?

#57 surely Codliver Oil and the Orange Juice would have been on the playlist - sadly won't be here since there's a sweary.


youngsters - simply haven't a clue how to misbehave

First I'd heard of it Adam. Free speech under threat. I suppose P--f The Magic Dragon will be out of the question.

Lichen dwarfism

#66

Well, "Bicycle Race" is easy enough. The clergy of various religions will be easily stirred into action.
"Dont Stop Me Now" looks promising too.

And as for Jilted John......

#68 - Seven Seas of Rhye (promoting alcohol)

Iggy Pop - (a real paragon of virtue) - The Passenger

First success!

The Samaritans have agreed to lobby for the removal of "Hanging on the Telephone" from Scottish radio playlists!

#64 Am i really not allowed to like fat bottomed girls anymore....

No - tear down those Subo pin-ups.

#32, thanks for the tip Glen....now you wouldn't be setting me up for moderation would you...?

They're talking about changing the law.
