Alas she entirely lost me from the third paragraph onwards. I hate being dictated to what it means to be a "real" fan. Especially when much of the musical innovation and the working drive actually came from cuddly suburbia.
I enjoyed that - though when she wrote that John's hooking up with Yoko constituted the first link between avant-garde movements and pop culture I found myself muttering 'Warhol' under my breath.
That post sent me to rereading some of Abi's other stuff that's up on the site - that brought back memories - SeaCon 1979. God we were still in our 20s - were we really ever that young? (I know biologically we must have beenm, but you know what I mean).
I note/recall that Abi consistenly misspelt my name; ah well I remember that it grated at the time (after all she had known for me for the best part of 10 years by then), but what of it. Still it's a good piece - all the better viewed through the lens of time - it must be 30 years since I last read any of NRBs,
