Dialing my tailor, he's called Simon...

One more BOS for Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll.

Funny how this phrase became part of the popular lexicon, even though this wasn't *that* big of a hit.

here comes a hurricane to end the drought!  BOS2 Neil.

Neil's getting blown. Away.  Someone alert Dan Dierdorf!
Is that something he says a lot?  Never noticed.  I did notice that he's a great big doofus and crappy commentator.

see the Sports Thread, page 92.
Funny stuff.  He's pretty much oblivious.

He coined the phrase?  I always assumed it went further back. VHM either way!

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.
