The former I think.<br /><br />The thing is, Don't Knock the Baldhead has been banging around in my head for over 30 years. I never associated it with Bad Manners; I wasn't a fan of Bad Manners and only found out today that they'd covered it. I was curious about Headline but could not for the life of me remember the name. I remember them being thought of as very, very good and an unusual choice of support band.

We booed them for the first couple of minutes as was the tradition at Strangers gigs, but then we all got into their music! After their set, we didn't want to let them go! A really amazing band, and one i'd watch tomorrow. Don't knock the bald head!!!

We got a new JJ Burnel interview in the pipeline, as a bassist yourself, you no doubt know of the man, the myth, the maninblack!<BR/><BR/>Just reading one or two of your other blogs - the one about Black Slate is great. I actually lived in the same apprtment block as the drummer. Must have been 1984-86. Nice chap indeed.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/><BR/>GGKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03094870854106891534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-32145938540872653622008-09-04T22:35:00.000-04:002008-09-04T22:35:00.000-04:00BAD Manners Give Headline a mention on the back of...BAD Manners Give Headline a mention on the back of their 2nd LP Loonee Tunes that's how I first got to hear about them.
