"The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age"

Hope I don't look like this when I'm sixty.

"Well I know a little girl, Lives over there, She looks so square, But for a pair of ragin' eyes"

Not so square, but certainly a pair of ragin' eyes which bear some resemblance to her dad's. Kurt's girl Frances is 19 and the photos by Hedi Slimane are remarkable. Check 'em out @ http://www.hedislimane.com/.

"You pull the trigger of my love gun"

A father again at 59! He really is Dr Love.

"What kind of fuckery is this?"

I hate to say I told you so, but saying "no, no, no" to rehab was never going to get Amy anywhere. Welcome to the "27 Club".

"When the change was made uptown and the big man joined the band"

RIP Big Man!

"I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk"

Google have dipped their hat to Les Paul, born June 9, 1915 with this image on their search engine. Pioneered the development of the solid-body electric guitar - without which rock 'n' roll would not exist.

"Come on in and cover me"

Just returned from the Corner Hotel in Richmond where I witnessed a performance by Thunder Road, "Australia's number one Springsteen show". Totally awesome show...only spoilt by me missing BTR @ the end having to tend to an unwell patron. Perhaps next time...

"I got to have a shot of what you got"

And for the record, Kymberly Herrin, fellow Playmate of the Month (March 1981) appeared with Jeana Tomisano in those ZZ Top music videos.

"She's got hair down to her fanny"

How could I not post this classic MTV moment. I was lucky enough to see their 1933 Ford (aka "Eliminator") @ the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio (along with Frank Beard's furry drum kit).

"She's got legs, she knows how to use them"

And who could forget Jeana Tomasino, November 1980's Playmate of the Month and one of the stars of the music videos for "Legs", "Sharp Dressed Man", "Gimme All Your Lovin" and "Sleeping Bag".

"Coz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man"

"Clean shirt, new shoes, top coat, top hat, black shades...lookin' sharp and lookin' for love". It's a shame most of the audience @ Festival Hall tonight weren't as smartly dressed as these guys. Black t-shirts, tatts, teeth missing and bourbon breath were the order of the night. Despite the crowd, great gig capped off by an encore of "La Grange" and "Tush".

"Heaven is a place" in Doncaster

Went to the Shoppingtown Hotel in Doncaster tonight to see one of the Queens of California...Belinda Carlisle. What a voice. Looks great for 52. No doubt courtesy of her LA plastic surgeon.

"...and a three day growth"

RIP Steve Prestwich who died yesterday following surgery for a brain tumour diagnosed two weeks ago. Without him we wouldn't have "Forever Now" and "Flame Trees".

"You'll drink the night away, and forget about everything"

RIP Gerry Rafferty aged 63, alcoholic Scotsman (sorry for the tautology). He drank his life away and forgot about everything (except all those royalties he got over the years from Baker Street).

Reservoir Dogs would not have been the same without his song Stuck In The Middle With You.
