Ian Dury

I used to work with someone who was a great Ian Dury fan.  But as I said in the book of condolence for the singer.

Never met Ian. Never saw the band. Never listened to any record in full.

But! Ian left a deep impression on me! If anything nasty ever happens to me, then I’ll remember his attitude.

What an attitude!

All I did was listen to him talking eloquently about life (and death) on the radio.

Now there is a film about his life.

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

It’s one of those films that you hope is very, very good.  There is this article in The Times, that gives some hope, that it doesn’t follow the usual route of biopics.

  2. I do hope the film is good though. So many films don’t seem to get it right these days. I must go and see Nowhere Boy though!
