I reckon if it was the corresponding day I’d be quite happy to go off down to the Waltzie and see The Little Heroes. And then next Wednesday I’d go to Billboard and see Dear Enemy.
I was 11 in 1982 and I remember thinking Billy Field was a doddery old fart. In fact, he’s, like, 27 or something. Time is a very strange beast 🙂
Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons had ceased to exist by 1982. Jo’s new band was called simply Jo Jo Zep.
