Amazing talent, such a hugh catalogue of hits!

My brother played in a group doing the local circuits as Rod and Steve Curry, unfortunatley my brother drank any profits he made!

Shame he wasn't a GTFC fan!

An unsung talent if you excuse the turn of phrase

A local talent with a global impact - just look at this to see how many songs he turned out back in the day.... truly outstanding

We're gonna rock with you Rod. RIP

The most amazing credit is for Yah Mo Be There - I assume that was for the music, those words not being classic Meggiesque (outside a few streets off Mill Road  ).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

You look at another "local" Bernie Taupin, same kind of age, to know that the Grimsby area music scene at that time must have been so vibrant. It's certainly why Elton John sung about GRIMSBY.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting was allegedly written by Taupin about the pub in Market Rasen's market place.
Rod Temperton helped push Jackson's career into the stratosphere. So many great songs on Thriller.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

If you'd looked that up in Wiki about 8 years ago Barra, you would have seen that it was written about the Imp after Town had played at home.  That actually won me a £20.00 bet.

It is merely coincidence that two days after that, the article was returned to it's original state and at the same time I was banned from commenting on Wiki.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
