Fats Domino is still about, Don Everly. Couple of the other Sun guys but not really big names; Sonny Burgess, Sleepy LaBeef.

I saw him play about 10 years ago. He was rubbish, I didn't care: an eighty year old doing the duck walk, what's not to like?

 

[Crackle]

Is his baby beside him at the wheel?

Same here. At the Jazz Cafe in Camden.

I had tickets to go and see him years ago but then couldn't for some reason I've long forgotten about, I knew of his 'lazy live' reputation but I'm still a bit miffed I missed him.

 

[Cycleops]

Still one of the greats of rock n roll. My hero from teenage years.

For some reason, maybe label, he was lumped together with Bo Diddley, another great fave of mine.

Well, I didn't expect this!

Yes I've just read that too, although not from Teh Grauniad.

He is a nasty pervert though. Had to pay a very large financial settlement to a group of women who sued him for installing secret cameras in the women's bathroom of a restaurant he owned, amongst other things...
