Always thought Faghot was a really good band, though lacking personality a bit. Dr Feelgod was GREAT! Their speed-drenched version of r'n'b suitet me just fine during those days. I saw Wilko Johnson a couple of times, maybe ten years ago. With that brutal beast Norman Watt-Roy on bass - fantastic musician! - looking and moving like a panther on stage, and the cool Monti (?) on drums, they pulled out great nights! Wilko moving frenetic to and fro on stage, like a rabbit on a prize shotting range in an amusement park, with starry eyes, and pushing the black Telecaster to the limit.
Has anyone here read Wilkos story of how he spent New years eve 1969 in India? Calcutta, I seem to remember. It was published in a book about musicians, and their backgrounds. Can't find that book right now, and can't remember the name of the book, but if I do I'll try to publish it somewhere on the net. It's a really funny story, where Wilko, and his local dealer, Mr Kardoon, sits down by the banks of Ganges to light up a piece of highly potential local herb, and what happens next in his head. Mr Johnson sure knows how to write a story, I assure you! He's sure got the pen in hand. If anyone here's interested, I'll look for it.
