Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Well - what a gentleman Howard Devoto is. Interview transcript to follow. When asked to respond to the comment that someone on a *** certain *** well-know band forum described the current Barry Adamson-less line-up as a "travesty", his measured reply was "Well, I'd say to them listen...

And this coming from a man who was in a tribute band!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Jim I can't believe you're all thinking of going to watch this travesty.
