Found this site!<br /><br />"Jonestown Suicide" got a lot of plays on 4ZZZ which is where I heard it when I was a student at UQ back in the early 80s. Great song!etopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898563585282921561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948631353581176341.post-79243824876441817162017-03-18T21:14:50.889+11:002017-03-18T21:14:50.889+11:00Bravo! ...reminiscing!

But may I just say that I never joined The Bank Of France...although most of the band played on Jonestown...and I kind of regret not halving the lenght of the solo. But as I was 19 at the time I guess I could be forgive for this tactical error...<br />Anyhow here is a recent poem for ya<br /><br />An Introduction to Poetry Readings by Nasty Nigel Lawrence<br />Friday, June 17, 2011 at 10:06am<br /><br />Preaching to the converted, the tormented and perverted<br /><br />Introspective melancholics, axe-grinding alcoholics<br /><br />Welcome to a night of wine and words<br /><br />Who's that in the corner? What a beret ! What panache !<br /><br />He's erudite and horny and he's high on cheap grenache<br /><br />Fruity and mellifluous, he thinks he is mischievous<br /><br />He's just a prick and devious, you'd better watch your back<br /><br />For the arts are very crafty, then the room turns blank and drafty<br /><br />And there's agonizing boredom still to come<br /><br />Direct from minds like hovels, poems twice the length of novels<br /><br />You may never see your family live again<br /><br />God is dead and who can blame him ? When there's nights like this to shame him<br /><br />If I was him I'd rise and just strike back<br /><br />But the evening's just begun, and there's two hours yet to come<br /><br />So please, "Put your hands together for the first poet for this evening!"nastynigel1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17271042134878415282noreply@blogger.com
