In memory of Chris Rea, who died today. DD and I listened to this song while she wept over her first heartbreak. She’s fine now.

Really enjoyed that while I was making flapjacks.

(No, not ICBF. Just ordinary ones.)

Don’t want a slurpy or a tofu dog, just a kebab.

I must say that despite quite liking the song I have a powerful urge to give ‘my friend’ a hearty ding upside the head.

Of course having removed the pith helmet. Do you take me for an amateur or something ?

Personally I am fond of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhM7qG7oXcw

But then I am a sucker for the Lovin’ Spoonful. Almost nobody I ever knew had heard of them, which probably helped.

They were only really around between 1965 and 1967, and although they were big in the US I don’t think they reached the same popularity in the UK. Also they had too many styles, so it was hard for people to classify them; the Beatles and the Stones were just easier to explain, I suspect.

But I have clearly found my tribe, so whoopee!

I had at least heard of them before I met you, and could probably have placed at least one or two of the singles.
