(Mind you, Noel Gallagher's recent advice to Remainers to "f***ing get over Brexit" was refreshingly forthright.)<br /><br />I'd really like to see a BBC4 documentary on No-Hit Wonders or Unsung Heroes - i.e. those pop musicians who produced music that didn't sell, but went on to influence later, more successful acts - and do the same for writers, artists and film-makers. It might attract an audience, given that, for every commercially successful person, there must be 10,000 of us who didn't make the grade (deservedly, in the overwhelming majority of cases).

"Yes but I preferred them the first time around when they were called the Swinging Blue Jeans.".<br /><br />"Making Time" sounds a bit like "Can't Explain" by the Who. The link is probably Shel Talmy who produced both. The drummer has definitely been to Moon School. But the influence which the one exerted over the other is more likely to have been the other way round. Can't Explain was a hit in 1964 whereas Making Time came out in 1966. Good tune though and instantly familiar., as you say.ex-KCSnoreply@blogger.com
