@jillwebb2005 These lyrics always come to mind and encapsulate much, I'd say: "True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia, but it's a dream that I'll always hang on to, that I'll always run to..." - "Tales From The Riverbank" (The Jam)

I’m squeezing in another poll before my 40th anniversary fanzine goes to print. It’s an ambitious one but here goes. As it was Paul Weller’s lyrics that inspired me to start writing a fanzine, give me your favourite lines from a Weller penned song spanning his entire career.

Yesterday Arthur 'Gaps'Hendrickson, co- lead singer of The Selecter for the past 45 years, was laid to rest in Coventry. A sad day, but also joyous. Coventry, city of Peace and Reconciliation brought together those who had not spoken for years. Gaps still worked his magic.

@amanorman Sorry to hear. Thinking about The Selecter here in Toronto...

Original Selecter frontman - Arthur Gaps Hendrickson has died. One of my big brothers in early days of #Hardtop22 and #TheSelecter. Rest in peace Gappa #JusGaps

@liamgallagher Will see/hear you there! Via Toronto. Was at your first Oasis Vancouver, BC show back in the day (and the coin tossing no go, wasn't me)... OG Roses in the DF in 2013. Also, the Seahorses on their first (and only?) NA tour, but this is MUCH more exciting... Love the album, PEACE

@RealPaulPutner Incredible

Yet more photos of me I have recently discovered in a drawer at my folks. This is from 1979. Here I am, half in school uniform, doing a make up test for a Super 8 horror home movie I was filming wiv me mates. Clearly inspired by Vincent Price.

@RealPaulPutner It's sad

One year on, and I still can't believe Terry Hall does not walk among us.

RIP

@RealPaulPutner Nice one...

Crappy sound and visuals with our student doc making steam driven tech. Dec 1988. I still miss Laurel Aitken. youtube.com/watch?v=UEs-Y7…

I just watched the Peter Jackson Now & Then promo and love it. Although it's very poignant, the video also embraces the silliness and humour of The Beatles. As the late, great Barry Cryer always said, "Never forget 'silly'."

PS - I Love You
