Randomly recorded and just watched ‘Top of the Pops: The Story of 1979’
For those of an age there’s some memories there!!
Rubbish piled on the street. ITV on strike when there were only three channels on TV. Shit cars like the Austin Maxi
Music wise - some half decent post-punk bands like The Skids and Gen X, utter tosh like The Nolan’s and The Dooley’s, absolute belters from Nile Rodgers and then you had the saving grace of The Clash, The Police, The Specials and Madness. And the weirdness of Gary Numan
John Noakes on Blue Peter, Tom Baker as Dr Who, Tomorrow’s World
Desperately trying to get into pubs at 15 (mostly failing) but getting into Cinderella Rockerfellas
Cherry red Doc Martens and drainpipe Levi’s
But to cap it all, standing on the paddock at OT to see Frankie’s double, thinking we are in the big time, not knowing the heartbreak a year later
Looking back, life was a bit shit, but fuck me it was brilliant that year
