Well done, never before has a single comment given me the urge to defend both Leni Riefenstahl and mice.

I love the Lemmy/Girlschool cover of this tune.

Frederick Pottle was a giant! I love the collections of Boswell's writings that he edited for Yale. The London journals are a fucking hoot! I'm going to try to post Pottle's obit here and now and I'll raise a glass to him later. www.nytimes.com/1987/05/19/o...

That’s awesome! I was well into my 50’s before I met the Captain. And to think, he met Captain Sensible on the date of the historic Palace FA Cup win. That is a great story for a 10 year old!

Captain Sensible should be in good spirits. His beloved Crystal Palace won the FA Cup earlier today. Should be a hell of a time!

Hell yeah!
