Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

And....closing.

Who thinks we should close this topic and discuss the tour now under individual reviews etc? We know the setlist now and I doubt it'll change.

Something to accompany those Spring/Summer Euro trips :grin: Jim I'd be well up for JJ doing something weird and arty as a solo project, maybe another concept piece like Euroman Cometh ...

I think the fact that you label JJ as "a bassist who occasionally wrote and sang" is revealing. I'm unsure which part you think is incorrect. Is JJ a bassist? Yes. Did he occasionally write? Yes. Did he occasionally sing? Also yes. Anyway, enough. Objectively, you troll this board. Again,...
