Was Shakey the embodiment of Rock'n Roll?
and
Does anybody know what he is doing now?

Cloviscat Posted Nov 23, 2000
I've said it before, I'll say it again - you REALLY worry me, Niz...

How can anyone hate the welsh king of Rock 'n roll?
Classics such as:
Green Door
Oh Julie
Lipstick, power and paint.

Crypto-revisionist nostalgia-tripping cover-versions make my skin crawl 
BUT
Shakey still appears to be touring, singing the same rubbish (see above) and is apparently huge in Scandinavia!

ROTFL
That site has cheered up my day, I nearly lost bladder control.
How the hell did you find that?

He was the headline act at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium on 31 Dec 1999.
No Tom Jones, no Shirley Bassey, no Manics, no Stereophonics, or other professional Welsh types, but Shaky was there.

That's "Shaky" without an "e" in it, you young whippersnappers.

Still filling stadiums....WOW!!
The welsh King can still show these young so called musicians a thing or two.
I'm still giggling over that website!!!

Can I just change the subject and ask if any one else saw the Status Quo retrospective on TOTP2 last night?
The Quo - is it time they were given the recognition they deserve? (genuine question)
Shakin' Stevens
Cloviscat Posted Nov 23, 2000
Nooo! *Howls at the moon (why don't we have a 'Howls at the moon' smiley?* I missed TOTP2! Waah!
Status Quo - hmm as they said of Wagner: some good moments, but some pretty tedious quarters of an hour 
Bet that's the first time Wagner and Status Quo have been compared!!!
A for the Shakey site: ah well, I'm a researcher, dammit, if I gave away my methods, I'd be out of a job!

WHAT EVER YOU WANT......
Rockin' to the Quo!!!!!

Actually Cloviscat it is not the first time - in the novel "Flambards" one of the lead characters enters a room and questions whether it is Wagner on the gramaphone. To which another character replies "No it is Status Quo"

My goodness - you're even more worrying than Niz... 
What I like about this place is that I almost feel *normal* compared to you lot!
Shakin' Stevens
Abi Posted Nov 23, 2000
I am only worrying when I am here in a professional context - when I go home I am completely normal.. honest guv!
Shakin' Stevens
Niz (soon to be gone) Posted Nov 23, 2000
I've never been normal, well that's what the people who live behind the radiator say!!!

Just to let the Quo fans know that they are on Clarkson tonight @ 10pm BBC2.

Shakin Steven´s huge in Scandinavia? I´m from Denmark and don´t know if I´ve ever heard a song by him.
If this guy got Parkinson´s, I wonder if anybody would notice.
Key: Complain about this post
