## Resource

Be glad for the pod has no ending! Now in our 20th year and, this week, ruminating fondly on the following …   … the “underhand” selling of Geese   … Morrissey’s absurd whinge about the Salford Lads Club photo   … Jay Leno’s $50 ruse to get comedy gigs   … when bands “didn’t even know what a hotel was”   … radio sessions in Andy Kershaw’s flat   … what’s the point of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?   … when has any aspect of the entertainment business EVER been “fair”?   … “Four eyes, one vision!” Elvis Costello busking in Park Lane   … the great Supremes records after Diana Ross   … Focus, 10cc, Devo, Zappa, the Shadows and other musical dead-ends   ... Ronnie Wood and … Beverley Knight?   …. “Shove off, Phil Collins! And have you got your Barley Sugars?”   … and birthday guest Stephen Lambe about why Focus are largely forgotten.
