The aforementioned iceberg cometh. And that iceberg, dear reader is you. Dig? Im talkin bout you.....................Early start just read this again,I just love this,letters to magazines (and you know i was one of them letter writers Mick Farren mentions,ask Mick Jones!!!) in the past,now gone,but we have this NOW to say our bit,and this article resonates with me more than ever!!!......Except that something seems to be happening that wasnt happening back in January. The aforementioned iceberg cometh. And that iceberg, dear reader is you. Dig? Im talkin bout you. Where once the letters that were dumped in the tray marked Gasbag contained smart-ass one-liners, demands for album tokens, obscene ideas for the uses of Max Bell, or diatribes against Smith, Springsteen or Salewicz, now the tone has changed. Stewart Tray of Manchester wouldnt go down and see the Stones if he was pulled there by Keith Richards. Mart of Oldham doesnt want to see five middle-aged millionaires poncing around to pseudo soul funk/rock. Letter after letter repeats the same thing. You all seem to have had it with the Who, and Liz Taylor, Rod and the Queen, Jagger and Princess Margaret, paying three quid to be bent, mutilated, crushed or seated behind a pillar or a PA stack, all in the name of modern 70s-style super-rock.......................theguardian/music/2013/jul/31/mick-farren-nme-rock-titanic-sails
