Happy Birthday! 🥳🥳

24 years ago I was sent to a London pub by a newspaper to interview and drink whisky (no “e” over here) with Lemmy, who was in the band Motorhead and, before that, slightly less famously, Hawkwind and, before that, much less famously, Sam Gopal. We had a good chat: about being from the part of the Midlands north of the River Trent, about books, and about roadying for Hendrix in the mid-60s (him, not me; I was minus nine at the time). When the record company PR sidled over to tell me my time was up, Lemmy waved him away. “No, no, I’m enjoying this,” he said, commandingly. I realised at this point that I had another question I’d been meaning to ask but hadn’t. “Are you scared of anything?” I said to Lemmy. “Nothing,” he replied. Then he paused and frowned for a moment, as if an idea had suddenly occurred to him. “Oh, maybe snakes,” he said. “It’s because they’ve got no shoulders.”

I remember all too little of the interviews I did with rock stars when I was briefly employed as the music critic for a national newspaper, but there is this.

A big pile of Notebook paperbacks.

Decided to give away this entire pile of my 2022 book Notebook for the price of postage today. If you can pay more, great. If not, no problem. Pop a reply below if you'd like one. It's a short, silly book, but sometimes a bit serious, too, and people tell me it's a good easy gateway to my writing.

This one is at decent time for me 😁 I'm used to recording because I can't handle 4am starts
