Title: 17 November 2009: it's 1977
Post by: urth on November 17, 2009, 10:00:11 AM
From his remarks closing the morning show, it sounds like Webster graduated HS in whatever year we're visiting today.

ETA: Did she say what year this was? Although it's sounding like '77 here, which means Webster is my age. Rod's too, iirc.

yup. '77 sounds about right for that scenario.  Crapton, Marcy & Whinyface kick it off

ETA: Webster talked about turning 50 earlier this year, iirc.

Well, Star Wars was 1977, so I'm assuming that's where we are.  And I really like "The Core", so no Clapton complaints from me.  Zero does a great version of this too.

It must be so.

Even Wikipedia can't agree. From a passage in Dury's bio:

Quote
(Although it is sometimes claimed that Dury coined the phrase, there is evidence that it was already in common use and a virtually identical wording was used by Australian band Daddy Cool for the title of their second album Sex, Dope & Rock'n'Roll: Teenage Heaven, released in 1972[6]).

So maybe, maybe not.

Fitting for the "I didn't know that" thread, but I'll put it here anyway:

Reading the rest of Dury's wikipedia bio, I learned that Andrew Lloyd Webber approached him to write the libretto for Cats, and was turned down flat. He's quoted as saying "I can't stand his music."[11] "... I said no straight off. I hate Andrew Lloyd Webber. He's a wanker, isn't he? ... [E]very time I hear 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' I feel sick, it's so bad. He got Richard Stilgoe to do the lyrics in the end, who's not as good as me. He made millions out of it. He's crap, but he did ask the top man first!"[12]

Worth a read, lots of interesting factoids:

HA!  Who knows, if he had said "yes" to the wanker, maybe Cats wouldn't have sold so much.  Then again, he prob could have bought a LOT more Sex and Drugs w the royalties.
