A colleague of mine witnessed Wilco Johnson at the 100 Club last Friday. He said it was brutual route one pub rock but played with energy and wit missing in 99% of bands who try to do frilly but end up sounding like emotionally piss weak also-rans. I bet Jeremy Alexander wouldn't have given the gig a good review. Ask him who his favourite band is Monica - it will speak volumes. Christ, he must be about 70. 61 and shit hot by all accounts.

To Jeremy Alexander (in the event that you do read this message board)
Jeremy, you ought to have given us an account of a crunch relegation match and the passion and desperation that this breeds. We expected to read something of the determination of one side to prevail over the other. What we got was 'The Continuing Adventures of Jeremy'. Subtext: 'This week Jeremy has a day out to a nasty little town where thuggish people go to a match and shout vile abuse, while their team do the footballing equivalent on the pitch'.
You gave us a self-indulgent glimpse of you own self-importance, indulging yourself in rather flowery similes and metaphors which meandered around until it ended with a crafted punch-line: "'I don't have to strain my ears to hear your Delilahs.' Delilah, of course, was a Philistine."
A Philistine, Jeremy, in this day and age, is a term used to describe uneducated, boorish, crass, ignorant, anti-intellectual, barbarians.
Thanks for that. A word of advice. Don't come on here and try to justify calling me/us that. I am educated, peaceful, and sophisticated by most standards. Calling me an uneducated, boorish, crass, ignorant, anti-intellectual, barbarian brings out a very different side to me.
The only thing, therefore, that you can do on this message board is apologise. Your article was self-indulgent pap, ignorant of the realities and directly insulting to me.
You owe me an apology.

Like your gallery, especially the one of Steve Bruce.
