I'm still on holiday, dear reader, so - apart from the fact that the clock is ticking towards the inevitable conclusion of a fortnight of hedonism - I couldn't give a fuck that the weekend is looming, tbh.
However, to get into the usual routine, there is indeed a whole raft of birthdays of notable people today, including the much-missed Princess Margaret, Dame Janet Baker [still with us, thankfully, aged 93], Joe Strummer, Christopher Robin (Milne), Jackie DeShannon, Usain Bolt [40 today], Aubrey Beardsley, Count Basie, King William IV, Friz Freleng, Kenny Rogers, Budgie of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Donald Dewar, Lili Boulanger, Kelis, Cliff Adams, Barry Norman, Jack Weston, Clarence Williams III, Kim Cattrall, Kim Sledge of Sister Sledge, gangster Bugs Moran, King Mohammed VI of Morocco, Liam Howlett of The Prodigy, Dina Carroll, the world's oldest verified living person Ethel Caterham (of Hampshire, UK) [117 today!]...
...and the delightfully tight-trousered Patrick Juvet!
Without further ado, let's play his timeless, most memorable hit, shall we?
Thank Disco It's Friday!
A new video for me (not the song, just the video). As a matter of fact, I don’t think I ever knew what Juvet looked like.
ReplyDeleteYou never saw him and Amanda Lear in the same room at the same time... Jx
DeletePatrick has evidently not spent much time here lately. Luckily, he is not around to see any of it! A half day for me today...what could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteYes, I was wondering when someone was going to come out with "what's to love about America these days"? A half day, and all those cock-a-tail bars around..? See you Sunday... Jx
DeleteI did not expect that voice, sweetpea! Another disco song I seem to have missed! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGosh! It was ubiquitous over here at the end of 1978. Jx
Delete'The much missed Princess Margaret' you are a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI thought she was fab! Pleasure-seeker, couldn't give a fuck about what anyone thought about her, bitchy, witty - and still carried out more official Royal appointments and duties per year than most of 'em. Jx
DeleteIf his pants weren't that tight, he'd never be able to hit those notes.
ReplyDeleteThe secret to his success - revealed! Jx
DeleteDidn't he used to be one of the Nolans ?
ReplyDeleteHe should have been! Jx
