Ian Whitcomb no pasó de ser un "one hit wonder" en los años sesenta, pero fue pionero total en incluir el viejo music hall remozado, modernizado (Mod Mod Music Hall) en el contexto beat-R&B del momento, incluso antes que los Kinks. No me malinterpreten, no quiero decir con esto que Whitcomb fuera mejor que ellos ni mucho menos. Ian no se puede medir con Ray Davies, para mí el gran genio del rock británico. Quiero decir lo que quiero decir, y creo que lo que digo es justo. Pionero.
1965 fue el año de Ian, tuvo éxito como parte de la British Invasion. Salió en los programas de tv norteamericanos Shindig, Hollywood A Go-Go y American Bandstand, tocó en el Hollywood Bowl con los Beach Boys y giró con los Rolling Stones, Kinks y Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Ian recuperó el ukelele para el pop antes de la sorprendente aparición de Tiny Tim, y es posible que hiciera "I´m Henry The Eighth, I´m", antes que Herman´s Hermits.
Su gran error, al menos comercial, fue decantarse por completo por los viejos estilos en su 2º y 3º elepés, discos que me resultan cargantes. En el primero supo compaginar sabiamente lo nuevo y lo antiguo.
La caprichosa, neurótica, "The End" fue la cara B exclusiva de "N-E-R-V-O-U-S!", su me-me-medio éxito de 1965, dando forma a uno de los sencillos más extraños y bizarros de la era. Johnny Walsh hizo una brillante versión un año más tarde.
the way none of us would have ever imagined while reading the other books that all of this was happening to him
and the way lizzie kept ripping into him and telling him he should have died instead of his sister and everyone was excusing it because she was hurt — while the whole time gibsie was so fucking hurt and he never hurt anyone back because of it
and thats the thing is that he has more right than any of them to be a fucking horrible person but he became the complete opposite — hes such a sweetheart and such a kind boy i love him so much
the way he kept repeating “im always okay” and then the revelation of where he got that from😭
i am fucking sick
the final straw for me was the scene after it all went down and johnny just holds him and cries
that’s when i couldnt do it anymore
bro after claire revealed what happened, lizzie should have been on her knees BEGGING for gibsie’s forgiveness — and instead she says he made it up?????? what????? shes absolutely irredeemable at this point i dont care
she should have been sobbing and hugging him and telling him shes sorry for how shes been treating him all this time when this is what hes been going through
Johnny Rotten goofing around along with the rest of the Sex Pistols & Co. during a traditional Christmas dinner party hosted by Caroline Coon in Ladbroke Grove, London, as captured on 25th December 1976 by Ray Stevenson (pic 1) and Leee Black Childers (pics 2 & 3).
Caroline Coon: "...Everybody was exhausted from the Anarchy tour. I wanted to have a traditional Christinas. Fortunately, Jonh Ingham was house-sitting a huge house just off Ladbroke Grove. I did turkey, Christmas pudding and all the trimmings. It was an open house: everybody from all the main bands came...".
