Stiff
Saturday September 16, 2006
No, this isn’t a prediction of how I will be feeling after the half marathon tomorrow. It’s a post about the whole evening of programmes I watched last night celebrating Stiff records.
I realised just how good Elvis Costello, Ian Dury and Dr Feelgood were. Highlights:
Backstage film of Ian Dury tearing down a corridor into Costello and barking “out the way Elvis!”
Strange onstage dancing from the artist Humphrey Ocean.
Stiff tour bus stories. Apparently Costello passed out after drinking too much and The Damned set light to his trousers. “That woke him up”, laughed Captain Sensible.
