[kj] 80s LOLs

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Went to that exhibition the other day... it was okay... nice to see Alex 
Harvey's leather jacket and striped top, plus some Rezillos stuff... and 
even Jobson's cricket top!! But the lack of Exploited was fairly poor. 
Not a fan (since I was about 13 anyway) but to just pretend they didn't 
exist when some utter drivel was included was sad. Un-hippery at work I 
would say. Still, the Bay City Rollers section was more than worth the 
price of admisson ;-)

Big Country were great in their day... saw some fantastic gigs by them, 
including the televised Hogmanay show at Edinburgh Playhouse. Can't 
listen to 'em now though. Skids on the other hand are still a joy.
