  • Massive relief for the redleader clan

    Returned from hospital earlier this evening after having met consultant re Deaf Star son's brain scans from the dreaded MRI machine.

    The latest test results show that the unexplained "white matter" lesions on his brain, which can be an indicator of MS, or any number of other lethal ailments, have not progressed or worsened from the first test ten weeks ago.

    We are told that this is very, very good news and Rubychoo and I are tonight massively relieved.

    No explanation of his sudden total deafness, although we'll meet a neuro-surgeon at the end of summer who might shed some light. Seems that the nerve receptors have just sort of, erm, burned out.

    So.

    From within our world, where experience has taught us to nearly always expect the worst, it's onwards and upwards to new beginnings.

    Cool.

    Geddit?

    Leave me alone, please leave me alone, GOD! leave me alone, just leave me alone, won't you leave me alone, please leave me alone, just leave me alone, yes - LEAVE ME! LEAVE ME!

    Phew.

    Marilyn Manson should cover this.

  • Wild nights in Liverpool 25 years ago

    Last Friday I dived over the water to the Big City to see an exhibition of photographs taken in the early 80s by a dear friend of mine, and staged at The National Conservation Centre in Liverpool.

    The photographer is an Italian fella by the name of Francesco Mellina.

    He used to manage a band I was in (Hambi and the Dance) and also Dead or Alive, who treated him very shabbily after they got their first hit away.

    Anyway.

    His exhibition features pictures of bands and fans from the Eric's Club days and is truly astonishing.

    I'd not seen him for the best part of 25 years. We'd not fallen out or anything, just drifted the way you do.

    It was amazing to catch up after such a ridiculously long time.

    And it's a cliche, but, after his press officer had disappeared and we were left to chat, it was just like the years faded away and we were right back in the day.

    His show is incredible. Such wonderful pictures, such memories, such times, such clothes, such haircuts.

    If you get a chance, try to pop along and wallow in the hedonism and innocence of the k-k-krazy days of Liverpool life and pop culture before the corporate money men came along and ruined it all.
