Waiting for my play to start tonight I picked up a Bradford Theatres Programme and I noted amongst "forthcoming attractions":
Wet Wet Wet - well without Marti Pellow whom I thought
was WWW?
Roy Orbison Story - well it has to be since he is dead
The Spice Girls Show - well more Wannabe than the real thing
Whitney - er not, she is dead
One Night Of Queen - er actually Freddy Mullen & The Works because Freddy cannot be with us.
PJ Proby Farewell Tour - ah the real thing, although at
81 this year he's way older than even me!
The King is Back - er no, Elvis is very,very dead
Let It Be - er I am sure that cannot really be The Beatles because, well, two are dead
My Leonard Cohen - er - I liked Leonard and he is def dead. Hallelujah!
New Jersey Boys - er - meaning not the Four Seasons (some of whom can no longer be with us tonight)
Bowie Experience -er - but surely?
Simon & Garfunkel Story - not them then but elsewhere I know that Art Garfunkel is still performing to his mother and stray dogs but at 77 years old? Simon has given up to count his money.
Mamma Mia! - but of course.
So I then came home and played some Mississippi delta blues like Robert Johnson. Now he
was the real thing.
