Gary Williams likes a pint.
Iggy pop and people like Alice Copper have been religously tee total and reformed for years now. Cooper likes a cup of tea and a game of golf now.
Great call Buzzer!
Did you go and see Peter O'Toole in Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell at the Theatre Royal? I went to the premiere.
Jeffrey Bernard was there. Every bit as surly and snarly an old bar steward as you would never hope to meet. UTTERLY required reading at the time tho. Genuine Brit literary legend, sort of an English Hunter S Thompson. It was all about HIM.
Yes! I used to read Lowlife in the Spectator so loved Bernard and his idiosyncrasies. As with Mark E Smith he was a complete ******* and pulled stunning women.
Apparently this man was a machine when it came to partying. John Lennon was scared of going drinking with him.

Absolutely. He also used to do a weekly column in one of the London free hand-out papers called Midweek that got given out on, I think Thursdays. Unmissable. JB and MES sort of redefine how you think about your heroes IMHO. It's a genuine love/hate thing.
