Anthony Posted September 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2023 I don't think I've mentioned this before, but noise cancelling earbuds are a bit crap. They deaden some frequencies a little. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed away from them for the longest time, just unpleasant all around. I then thought, I at least have to see one in my lifetime.

Crouch said so himself. He said people don’t realise the passion and atmosphere at the Birmingham derby. He’s generally very complimentary about his time at Villa, even though he admits he wasn’t very good here because he just wasn’t ready for the step up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually did a lot of touring with Belushi and Akroyd. Akroyd in particular is a bit of a blues aficionado. They were really serious as a group and released a couple of live albums but no studio albums of original material. After Belushi died the band still toured (but obvs with different singers.) The rhythm and horn section were the same and I saw them twice in the UK at Wolverhampton town hall (Lou Marini, Alan Rubin aka Mr Fabulous RIP, and Tom Bones Malone were the horns.) There is a direct lineage from the band to the current SNL band though, you are correct on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was before the amazing comeback that was the Ron Atkinson debut at hillsborough. I also purchased Alchemy by Dire Straits. Weird the stuff you remember. I also clearly remember a guy in the row behind me at half time proclaiming loudly that Staunton must be wondering what the &&&& he's let himself in for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Belushi became a huge Blues and R&B fan during the filming of “Animal House”, supposedly after seeing Robert Cray and others at a club, so the Blues Brothers was something they enjoyed doing. But there’s no question that they saw an opportunity to cash in as well. Kind of funny that a guy from Chicago doesn’t get into the blues until he’s isolated in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back dog licenses, sufficiently funded to have people assess your premises and your ability to train and keep a dog correctly. You’ll always be chasing this week’s fashionable bad dog breed, when it switches to Doberman, or german shepard or husky or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
