John Cooper Clark.

Keith Richards is a bit like him.

As is Ronnie Wood to look at but I find Richards great value, can't say the same about JCC

 

[Se20]

Yes you are a tw@at!

Thanks

I don't normally like poetry, but in his case I would make an exception. He's clever, funny when he wants to be, a bit too northern for my liking, but a good thing.

 

[Icy Gull]

Thanks

Well you certainly look like one

 

[Se20]

Well you certainly look like one

Looks can be deceptive you know

Haven't seen him perform since 1981 but really enjoyed it.

Got all of his stuff, Beasley street is one of the best songs about the UK in the late 70s early 80s. With lyrics like "Sir Keith Joseph smiles and baby dies in a box on Beasley Street"

One of the great come back line after being Heckled... Someone in the crowd shouts something, JCC comes back with “can’t hear you mate cause your mouths full of shit!”

 

[cheshunt seagull]

'Keith Joseph smiles and a baby dies in a box on Beasley St'. Of course when Ian Duncan Smith smiles the result is very different

Reminds me of a young Lenny Henry djing at Cinderellas saying to a heckler, " if your cock is as big as your mouth I feel sorry for your girlfriend"

 

[smeg]

He most definitely is not shit, he did Chicken Town and that is a classic, plus he was in Ill Manors "Pity the Plight" ...... Nuff said

"The rats have all got rickets..."

Brilliant poem

He could also do humour as in I married a monster from outer space and The Day My Pad Went Mad

Anyone like him?

Yes, I do!

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Love him. A genuine legend with some great stories to tell.
Listen to him on 6Music when he does a show, funny and intelligent and a real music fan.

 

[El Presidente]

Anyone like him?

Seen him a few times live and like him. An acquired taste though
