Support bands were local boysThe Hours, and Elbow..

 

the night cost some £600, all told. ebay tickets from a Rock n Roll Roger. dont ask..

I queued from 1ish, with the live aid blondes and the wasp stings.

i wore my shaolin ring.  to keep my stephanie close.

i wore my tibetan charm. for my michelle.

i wore my Boys Play Rock and Roll t shirt.

I cried and screamed.

I texted my ladies. helen was in traffic. her seats were ‘shat’.

vicky queued from 7am. she was in orbit.

I clung on to a sophie. and bumped and grinded.

and in the taxi home, became the second man in her life to kiss her.

im afraid she fell in love a little, that night. my hands fell in love with her D cups. i was just emotional. and on another world.

and am a bastard. sooo.. situation needed some serious damage limitation the morning after…

and i saw U2. i can never top it. no point in even trying.  think i ve done everything i ever wanted to, now.

i found what i was looking for

it was a beautiful day. I ll never let it get away.

NEVER COMING DOWN
