THE DAMNED, Lemmy from Motörhead, Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx, ZZ Top, Status Quo and lots of booze – the Classic Rock Roll of Honour at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm in London had all the ingredients for a hedonistic evening.
But the shindig was a surprisingly elegant affair with the old rockers and rock chicks donning smart suits and cocktail
frocks. They dined on steak and enjoyed fine wine and petits fours before being entertained by US legends Lynyrd Skynyrd. A smart Rick Wakeman, pictured (apart from his trainers) laughed: “It’s hilarious – we’re all suited and booted. “A few years ago this place would have been on fire by now!”

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
