"I remember falling asleep in one of those plastic chairs that they have in convention rooms. I remember for the first time thinking ‘I’m hating playing music.’ And that was when I knew the end was near, at least for me. I always thought ‘I’ll do it until it’s no fun any more.’" #HBD #MichaelSteele

#OnThisDay June 2, 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣2️⃣ #TheLemonheads 'It's a Shame About Ray'. A singular record from a band that were generally a mess, their 5th album is a wonderful fusion of punk energy & 60s jangle. A classic, in every sense of the word. #musicsky #90smusic #90s #Anniversary

Remember it as if it were yesterday. I wasn't there, but was in Ireland. As mates chose to go to see Bruce, I visited someone else 😉 Wasn't a fan of The Boss back then, but years later I began to listen to his stuff, much to admire. The following day Ireland beat Switzerland 3-0 And I was there 👍
