What, Traffic as in the 60's band with Jim Capaldi & Steve Winwood that did "Hole in My Shoe" & "Paper Sun"?

I'm glad at least one of the team is keeping The Smiths dream alive. Everybody else their like Traffic (or something)...

The other chap is Andrew Gregory, our cunning little production monkey. He's directly responsible for all mistakes in the magazine, even the technical ones - it's all his fault! In fact, all the typos on these forums are his fault too!

I'm certainly over 30... but not quite 50 yet. I wasn't into the Smiths - thought they were too far up themselves. Having refreshed my memory via Wikipedia, I can't say I've any great desire to revisit their stuff. If the other pic is Gregory, no wonder he shaved his head

crispibits - it's OK, I don't come from Gloucestershire, just ended up here. At the time the Smiths were around I was resident in Bournemouth, then Norway, then Berkshire.

Well, the chap at the bottom is Morrisey, a once famous popular music icon, waved flowers about and moaned a lot IIRC. The other chap might be the same Gregory you can see with a skin-head further down the page, or might not.

You don't recognise the Smiths? - blimey, you must be either less than 30 or more than 50. Although I've just noticed you come from Gloucester, so that may the reason as well <runs and hides/>

Sorry, Mike, but this one's totally lost on me as I don't recognise either of the gentlemen who's pictures appear in the blog.

Interesting poetic piece... whatever you were on when you wrote it, I want some
