Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I remember reading (several times) that Bax and JJ had something like 200 “ideas”. No Mans Land is one example of what sounds like a bunch of ideas melded into a song. Not a criticism- I bet that you look good on the dancefloor by the Arctic Monkeys is another one- just an observation.

The Spotlight Kid is the one that I still play once in a while. I’m gonna booglarise you baby being a particular favourite of mine.

The old fart was smart…

High noon.

Notice how the interviewers were careful to refer to him as JJ rather than Jean-Jacques.

Actually a good interview- understandably a lot of chat about Dave.

But what other anecdotes would you prefer they do? "Baz had us doing this silly disco dance to Thrown Away...." (Pointing to Baz) "This one, he sings knob in Always The Sun - outrageous!" Maybe the old ones are the best? I’d be interested in hearing more about Hugh’s departure, ...

And the possibility of the “Dave once pinned Johnny Rotten up against a wall” story being told? I reckon it’s a safe bet.

Being interviewed by Dan Walker, which I have just realised is an anagram of “wanker lad”.

Indeed. Just listen to the drumming on Sympathy for the Devil.

Yes, which makes me wonder if this has been cooked up to publicise this forthcoming biopic thingy.
