As the headline says, while I'm on the subject of anniversary's i feel that i should remind everybody that its 25 years since 'the man' fingered a proto-'Eco friendly crusty' and student from the university of Oslo. the trouble began when the student (originally from the north of Norway, what ever that has to do with it.) who according to the university "is good at his subject (astrophysics) and is very intelligent", started to live in a cave (probably a student's money saving idea), very soon he was seen wearing shoes made of tree bark and even made a rucksack from plaited branches and leaves, the proto crust even began to make his own clothes from scraps of cloth he found, but soon 'the man' was 'on him' and he was separated from other students with the excuse that he was infested with lice and his body odour was so bad it was sickening other students who had to share a room with him, soon after that he was expelled from the university totally, despite doing nothing wrong (except not washing, having a lice infestation and living in a cave which is no one Else's business!).
so the cave dwelling Eco-friendly pre-crust decided it was time to take a stand and so he sued the university for not letting him sit his exams (the man has many ways to get at you), sadly our unwashed friend lost the case and was ordered to pay costs, but that wasn't the worst of it, oh no. what was the worst was the expulsion from living in the cave AND our 'Eco pre-crust' was ORDERED to take a shower and be clean. oh the inhumanity of it, them not him!
let this true story be a lesson to you because you never know when 'the man' will strike next.
and finally we commemorate the 25th anniversary this year of the death of the 'wise cracking' bingo caller with a twinkle in his eye, Mr Michael cave of Reading, Berkshire.
poor Mr cave, 65, was just 15 minutes into his routine and had just called out the number eight with the words "number 8, pearly gates" when he collapsed and died on the spot. some say that Mr cave's spirit is at rest and at peace in mecca.
And over at the 'punk anniversary production plant (operated on behalf of punk inc) they are busy with special editions of '30 years of punk records' 5 page specials to be placed in the pages of every rock mag, although the 'punk sausage machine' has not yet settled on a name they have made sure that every word has been read by you before and have been hard at work moving the odd word about to give each mag the chance to have its own article, a special 'punk' chart of songs released in 1977 has even been put together, in fact a few have been made, ones that are UK/US seperate, and ones that include both countries and even one that has room for foreign bands such as the saints (just in case), and all mention of bands and years after 1978 have been carefully sifted out, just in case.
so expect to see some of these articles appearing in your favourite 'rock mag' sometime in the summer/autumn season. (i hope im wrong)
