thats a grim way to look at songs........there are loads and loads of people who write who will never be heard,imagine all the mountain folk,trail drivers,immigrants who wrote songs or brought them over(soz i know your only jokin),........i did two gigs with the la's when i was with Treebound story,the guitar player borrowed my fuzz pedal,lee was playing Bo Didley tapes in the dressing room of the leadmill,i popped me head round the door to say hello and"fuckin ell.....i thought i was the only one of our age that liked"who do you love"? ............................... i think they were fairly gone by this time as the sound check consisted of"anyone got a football"which we had in the van as we were on acid and had just come back from a stint in the graveyard all night,and the search for the"spiritual"became boring so me Rob Cuz and Fan tried to play footie in the dark.............still.......you know best.
Anyway i thought Lee mavers was great,it was obvious he was well into it,the Bo Diddley thing swung it for me,i remember silver papers,Bo Didley and the lovely John Powers later of a band called cast who i toured with massively with,top bloke.
