The Stranglers

The Stranglers are quite good actually.

I like 1 song...and that's Light golden brown....

I don't know what it is about but it sounds good.

Golden Brown is a classic song, one of my favourites as a kid, imagine my horror to discover that the song I used to sing as a five year old was about heroin addiction...

Golden Brown happens to be one i don't like, i like No more heroes more i think.

I prefer the early punkier stuff, it reminds me of my youth.

They had music back then?

Yes. I remember that, right after bringing down a mastodon with rocks, we would sit around the communal fire, bang sticks together, hoot loudly, and throw dung at one another.

Great times.

By the way Rob... I'm still mad at you for throwing dung in my good eye....

heroin addiction?

not what the bloke down the pub claims!

They had sticks back then?

It is, however, what the Stranglers claim. Personally, I'd say they have a better idea.

Like most music it's left to the imagination.....ambiguous.

Well, that's what they were on about when they wrote it, so it works for me.

My mate was certain PG'S Sledgehammer was about smack too!!!

though I've read PG's book and he isn't a drugs man...he claims it's about Ummagumma

Why, I'm crushed... I only did it because you claimed my stick-banging lacked precision and depth...
