If you're wondering why so many of my generation ended up with the eyes and ears and minds that we did it's because we could watch stuff like this on schools programme. This is simply astounding.

Jürgen Vollmer's extrordinarily portenteous portrait of Astrid Kirchherr and Stuart Sutcliffe, taken in early 1962 about three months before Sutcliffe's death. He would have been 85 today.

From the day I first played it out 35 years ago to the last DJ gig I did a few weeks ago, this tune’s guaranteed to hit the spot. Goes brilliantly with Kris Ife’s “Hush”, Alan Hawkshsw’s “Studio 69”, “She Lives In A Big House” by Offspring and Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger’s “Indian Rope Man”.

"However significant Johnny Rotten has been, it’s worth remembering that he nicked much of his shtick from the greatest of all the pub rockers."
Today we shall also be remembering Ian Dury, born 12 May 1942, the greatest artist to emerge from the pub-rock scene of the 1970s.
