Since there were two references to Lemmy in the last Digest I feel I can
mention this one... I was watching "Sounds of the Eighties" on BBC2 last
week (and what a show it was...). The first clip was Motorhead playing
"Ace of Spades" - in the credits at the end of the show they said
"Motorhead were named after a song by Hawkwind, a band from which Lemmy
was thrown out of before forming his own group" (nothing we didn't know
here but a reference all the same).
The second clip was ZZ-Top "Cheap Sunglasses" after which they
showed a clip from some comedy programme (possibly " A kick up the eighties")
with a panel of 'pop' critics -
Pop quiz host "Well what do you think of them?"
Long-haired hippy "Uh dunno man.."
Pop quiz host "I'll give you a clue, you're their lead singer!"
Life's a riot!
