Bill doesn't support the overall message, but the verse about Jackson Browne is a keeper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSktY_6sL-4 * This is a group called Two Nice Girls. Hint: There aren't two, they aren't girls, and they are not nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMiV27R1ZiI Bill's top 3 Hall of Fame immortals: * Mr Bo Diddley, with his maracas-playing foil, Jerome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ZdKCFFR3I * (Bonus!

Bill once wrote about him, "He's like a friendly but not-quite-housebroken German shepherd: He means well but tends to make a mess, and he'll bite your leg if angered." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt81bVae4tQ 

If a film director wanted to flag up incoming violence in the late ‘50s, the camera would fall upon a couple of Teds lurking in the street outside. The teenage Keith Richards remembers razors, bike chains and bloodshed at dance halls and there was an infamous Teddy Boy murder on Clapham Common that plunged the nation into frantic, media-led moral panic. Max Décharné sets out to reclaim the Teds from their “Cro-Magnon, knuckle-dragging cliché” in his new book Teddy Boys and relives this dangerously thrilling rock and roll revolution – the music, clothes, films, press stories, the birth of Ted, Peak Ted, its eventual demise and what's kept the flame alive since. Things of note include …   … the full effect of Blackboard Jungle on a packed 4,000-seater cinema. ... that poignant sight of an old Ted pushing a pram with a woman with a beehive. … Joan Collins in ‘Cosh Boy'.   … the first UK rock and roll gig, Bill Haley & the Comets at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth in 1956.  … the crepe-soled, velvet-collared Duke of Edinburgh, unlikely '50s fashion icon. … Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis at the London Rock and Roll Show at Wembley in 1972, a key point in the Ted revival. … Malcolm McLaren, Johnny Rotten, Wizzard and assorted Ted torch-carriers. … Viv Stanshall and ‘Teddy Boys Don't Knit'. … fingertip drapes from Savile Row and how Teds subverted top-end fashion.   … Fleetwood Mac as Earl Vince & the Valiants doing ‘Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonite'. … and how the Beatles and James Bond helped kick the Teds into touch. Order Max's book here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teddy-Boys-Post-War-Britain-Revolution-ebook/dp/B0C3SFMTFHSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content, plus a whole load more!: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Week two of our look at the McGear box set from Cherry Red Records.     Mike takes us through his memory of his promotional video for "Leave It", and more while sitting in LIPA (formerly the art school and the Liverpool Institute) and the Everyman Theater in Liverpool.   We then discuss the outtakes and other tracks from Mike with and without "our kid".    Of particular note is Paul's final work in Apple studios.    The show closes with a brief visit to London, 1963 to discuss the wonders of spectral editing and the magic in a new, amazing fan-made stereo mix of the "Please Please Me" album.

In the sixties Neil Innes wrote and sang many of the deathless masterpieces of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. In the late 70s he was the leading light of the pre-fab four, The Rutles, still the greatest and most affectionate of Beatles parodies. He lives in France now. On a visit to the UK to take part in a tour marking the 40th anniversary of the Rutles, he dropped in to the Islington to talk to old skool fans Mark and David about wooing women with fruit, meeting the Beatles on the stairs at Abbey Road, doing a weekly children's programme live on TV with the one and only Viv Stanshall, helping George Harrison with his garden and not suing Oasis.
