Jon and I take a serious look back at the recently revealed list of banned bands in the former Soviet Union and ask this important question - why didn't we in the west have a similar list? I spent years pointing out that the dangerous likes of Duran Duran, Madonna, and Prince were violent terrorists intent on destroying the world. Only the gutsy reds did something about it though. Thank you Mother Russia.

Jon and I have decided we need a manager. But not just some bean counter who will give us a 'taste' then run off with the rest. But someone more 'on our level'. That is, someone who sees we make NOT A FUCKING PENNY for these pods and who can 'turn it around'. Someone who is more like an artist themselves in that they 'get it'. But knows how to make the big bucks without sacrificing whatever it is you have to sacrifice to get there. (Though personally I'm up for a bit of sacrifice if it means finally making some moolah, ya get me, innit?) Anyway this is what we came up with. ALAN NIVEN. The one and only one. Yeah, baby.

He was a bad, bad boy. Known for advocating the hair of the dog, taking flights at night, and inspiring Axl Rose to sing like a dwarf gargling with rusty nails while wearing a kilt. Join Jonny 'Mac' Hotten and my very good self the Flying Rockman as we look back on the career of one of the finest singers and rockers ever to come out of Scotland, Dan McCafferty of Nazareth who died recently.

Yes he's finally gone, taking his bone-fused skeleton and his crate of vodka with him. Mick Mars - the greatest guitarist that ever lived in Mötley Crüe. Vampire stunt-double, coffin-dweller, totally rad kick-ass metal glam ghoul extraordinaire, yes that dude!!
