The artiste formerly known as nothing. Prince by name and prince by nature. One of the few artistes to give their all in every way.

Loud, obnoxcious and with a serious attitude. But man, did they ever make people listen?

David Bowie. Earthling. The Man Who Fell To Earth. The Thin White Duke. And enless others.

Great rock band with a sexy as hell singer.

At last. A real musician

The Motor City Five.

A great live band. I caught them in Paris a few years back. Bowie on the Friday and U2 on the Saturday. What a weekend

And just when Lady GaGa had us thinking there was nowhere else to go!

The ultimate rock chick. She set the bar so high that still nobody has equalled her.
If you like reggae check out Rastaman

One of the bands I was lucky enough to see a whole bunch of times in my youth.

John Prine. The so called new Bob Dylan.

You can hear A Day In The Life if you click me.

Loudon Wainwright was definately one of my bigger influences in the early seventies.

The greatest band in the world.

Song Lyrics

"There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes" from John Prine's Sam Stone which is about the Viet-Nam war veteran who was addicted to morphine as a result of the injuries he sustained in the conflict).

"Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round", from Bob Dylan's Lay Lady Lay.

"The Kings and Queens whose acts are so obscene, as they frolic naked on somebody else's shore" from Old Laira which was my response to the Gulf War.

Bob Dylan in the sixties. It's an interesting thought of what music today would be like if there'd never been a Dylan.

Jean-Michel Jarre. The godfather of techno, trance, electronic music and more.

Jean Michel Jarre

 Bob Dylan in the sixties. It's an interesting thought of what music today would be like if there'd never been a Dylan.

Who's bad. I may be a killer but at the end of the day I'm just the man in the mirror

I caught his act at the Isle of Wight Festival in '70

Sheryl Crow. A & M home page

He doesn't have to be the best axe man in the world. It's more than enough that he's Keef.

Hats off to Pink Floyd but in my mind this was the man who drove them to where they are now.

Alanis Morissette. Now here's a lady I'd like to mystery dance with.

The original working class hero.

With a front man like Steve Tyler how could they be anything but wonderful?

Shirley Manson Singer extraordinair for Garbage.

The greatest live band ever.

The musicians musician.

The Boss. I remember him in the seventies saying if I ever got that big I'd never forget my fans. I'd never play stadiums.

Just love this guy.

Such a loss.
