Jockey Wilson’s face appears behind Dexys Midnight Runners when they sing Jackie Wilson Said on TOTP 1982. It wasn’t a mistake though, it was planned.

Brian May was a brilliant guitarist in his pomp .

And he was very modest about it too… Said nobody ever.

All the dialogue from the film inserted into the music is fantastic.

I have all of "real"queens albums - on tape They’re also downloaded onto the phone. The tapes of the early albums up to news of the world are the original trident ones and have “also available on 8 track cartridge” on them!!!

In the space capsule is quite good. The drums are deadly in it.

[dubintipp]

Yes, a great track.

Some lad on YouTube ‘stretched’ it out. Actually not bad. Real chill out vibe to it.

I used to drink in Ned Scanlan’s in Townsend St (great character RIP) in the 80s - cards, darts and then the Waterfront. Craig Johnston lived in Dublin at the time. He made a fortune on the Predator boot after he finished playing. Met him down there a couple of times and he was always a great laugh. No airs at all - enjoyed the pints and the craic with the lads.

I also always associate Joe Jackson songs with the place but can’t remember was it some guy who did good covers or what! In mitigation I was never one bit sober in the place. Some nights I had even trouble finding it …

Wouldn’t take a piss in that place now . Dunsink Dump situated beside it
Believe it’s going to be knocked down soon for a new hotel

[Dub09]

Wha’??? Which place? Where?

[Snowcat]

It’s a crack house now I hear.
