But we have overcome our territorial differences!

It was always a con - you were both  founded by Charlemange and have been in cahoots against the vile Anglais ever since.  Those silly caniggits.

... also Rowan, not Ronald Atkinson.... who is an evil genius (but not for Mr Bean, that was just what made him famous; he was mercilessly amazing on Not the 9 O'clock News and Blackadder... and to a large extent his non-physical/Bean-based stand up).

That video should have been strangled at inception and I hate to admit MacDonald lineage but I have to... :o

With Uwe posting Jam in the Ric Dept I did a dig through and find something for this Dept...

When I went electric mid seventies I bought an EB2/Rivoli copy from a shop in Hounslow (near Heathrow, London) - the PC was in the shop at the same time but out of my price range... (£200 or £220 approx.)
A year later, I saw a white EB2/Rivoli in the same shop for circa the same price but I only had £180, so popped back home and begged the extra cash, and went back to find it had been bought, apparently by Bruce Foxton...
Oddly, the PC was back, for £180, so cash departed and that one came home...!
Anyway, this may be that white bass...

The Jam were a Brit national treasure (if largely ignored in the rest of the world) und Foxton's quirky bass lines benefitted Weller's songwriting in a way only Entwistle's did with Townshend's compositions.

Lightyear

My girlfriend in the late 70's, now Mrs. Lightyear, was one of the earliest embracers of all things punk.  To that end I wound seeing every act that came to town - with the help of our fake ID's  ;D as all of the acts played in clubs.  The Jam played here in Houston for maybe 250 kids but played like they had a full sports arena in front of them - it was one hell of a show.  We met them afterwards and they painfully shy and extremely polite - maybe a couple years older than us.

I have a Jam story for you.  My best mates parents saw their first gig.  Fifteen minutes at a social club in Woking, Surrey, UK.  In between rounds of bingo or something.

The future I come from no longer exists.

Scott "the Saw" must be driving his family nuts with that song each and every Christmas. Alas!, Jim Lea's lovely walking bass lines, very, very Bach, everyone likes them except Rob who thinks that they are cheesy and Slade just some dumb glam band. Here is more "walking Lea" ... at 3:49
