You know you're getting old when...
...you discover that the mightily-talented Mr Andy Partridge of XTC is 70 years old!
Let's remind ourselves of the genius of him and his band, shall we?
Oh, how I loved them...
PS Ding, dong! Round two of our weekend in the theatre starts here - as we head off for a matinee performance of Mandy Patinkin - Live in Concert at the Lyric Theatre in the West End! Phew.
God, I loved them too - I had the Black Sea album - I must give it another listen.
ReplyDeleteHave a good afternoon. I think I'm going back to bed!

It's good to know someone remembers them! I'm off to have a nose through your garden over at Mr DeVice's place now... Jx
DeleteXTC was one of the most sing-along-able bands ever.
ReplyDeleteThey were very jolly (in a cynical way, of course)! Jx
DeleteI'm old so everyone I admired as a child is really old or dead.

Oh, bless... Jx
Delete70 gosh some fab tunes there but I was just thinking that he is the same age as Mandy Patinkin who is also 70 and he was amazing on stage last night.

DeleteMr Patinkin was indeed impressive. More on that later, no doubt. Jx
I forgot how much I loved Making Plans for Nigel.
ReplyDelete"And if young Nigel says he's happy
DeleteHe must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his world"
I bet he wasn't.
Great song! Jx
