[Albion] Potter- what’s he up to?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

As John Cale noted at the time: "Elvis died when I did a cover of Heartbreak Hotel".

The death is sad, sure. But Elvis had been stealing a living in a casino for years, and was Not Relevant any more. Especially in 1977. Popping along to announce the death (which we later learned was while straining on the shitter, while only in his early 40s) at a punk rock gig was naïve of Baker. I seem to recall Baker was fonder og Oi! than punk, and in recent years has stated that musinc ended in 1977.

Anyway, if any in the audience knew of the death at the time they weren't celebrating. And the mockery was for Baker more than anything else, for being a tit. His recollection of the event in his own words don't map to my recollection.

Anyway, all a long time ago now.....

Nah, that was Gary Bushell in Sounds. In fact he single-handedly invented Oi! so that his thick-eared talentless gorblimey nazi mates could get in on the music industry gravy train. Danny Baker, on the other hand, got his big break on NME by arguing that deeply unfashionable acts of the time like, say, Michael Jackson, were in fact not shit

I am sure Gary Bushell only invented oi so he could get his talentless band the Gonads on vinyl.

Pretty sure Brightons own poet Attila is not the biggest fan of GB either.

This thread prob needs splitting in two at this point: into the interesting bit and the Graham Potter bit

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Tbf I opened to see any updates on our Graham but have enjoyed you two sharing anecdotes from the entertainment world

Yes I know all about Bushell. Weirdly I bumped into him when on holiday near Praia de lux (Madeline McCann country) about 15 years ago. He was being very noisy on his phone, while looking for somewhere to eat. I didn't attempt to make contact. Along with Richard Littlejohn, he was an enabler of the tit Farage. Fie upon them.

But I do remember Baker mentioning the 'oi! movement' favourably though, promise. It was this very thing that put me off him as a journalist. That said I have searched for 'evidence' online and can't find any. Perhaps I just made it all up. Baker was never in tune with contemporary music, though and, whereas I share his prog rock predilection, I found his attitude to music in general (and lots of other things) to be very narrow minded. I started to warm to him only when he initiated 6-0-6.

I know he's gone through a few changes in his style over the years, but that's a bold look he's rocking there.

 

[Han Solo]

He's ready ..

Ok before I watch this: his new fashion style seems a tad... eccentric. Will take time to get used to, but I'm in.

Exactly what I thought.... he said he's visited a few places in his sabbatical, guessing Istanbul for the teeth was one!

 

[nickbrighton]

That was a "come and get me" plea if ever I heard one.nice little carrer resume in there , so will it be the England job?

Clearly pinned all his hopes of an easy life on the England job, else he'll be more than happy to continue to take the Chelsea pieces of silver for as long as legally permissible

I lasted 33 seconds. Those teeth are quite something, though.

That said, oversized teeth always have a touch of Sir Les about them...

Still sucking in the through his teeth, as @Dick Head would say "like some kind of vacuum pump".

Maybe the pearly whites are to visibly divert and distract from the air sucking phenomenon!
