I think it's 'Plonker'.

Stayed in Vauxhall a couple times. Lots of mad types and late nights, the "Wine Box" was a good space for a gig. Happy days.

@@willtricks9432 Yeah, if that was the bar in the corner of the square, we played a gig there once, apparently with Flux of Pink Indians, though I don't recall that. Also I was in there on a few occasions. The SF band Crucifix and their tour, and staying there, was the first thing that brought me to the place, plus Matt lived there for a while afterwards. I'm pretty sure I was in that bar early hours of the morning that very first night of being there, guitarist Drew climbing in the rafters.

@@AngloSaks666 Saw someone climbing the rafters when I was there, don't remember the bands name. but it was the night of a "Stop the City" demo/riot. The one time i Didn't get nicked. Stayed at Annie Anxiety's with a mate right above Tibet's cellar. lived up to his name. Fry up in the cafe round the corner was a treat first thing.

@@willtricks9432 Yeah, that was the house I stayed in first time too, though I think already then an Irish actor called Joe lived in that cellar. David Tibet was living in the attic room of the house next door by then, I think. I slept on the floor in that room once, looking at his Tibetan chant albums and TG brass penises the next morning. Annie was always friendly and funny. I stayed in one or the other of those houses (I guess more the other one, in fact) on several occasions. They kind of functioned as one house, those two houses. Annie lived on the left, but was often in the kitchen in the right hand house, Tibet lived in one, then the other. Steve Ignorant lived there a little while, and also I remember him sleeping in each house. Crucifix slept in that left hand one, but Matt lived in the one on the right. A girl called Tracy lived there too. A long time ago now. And others came and went. And I guess climbing the rafters in that bar was natural. And Drew was the kind of person to do it. And, sadly, 2 days ago was the 10th anniversary of his suicide, which you can strangely enough now read about in the book by Madeline Pendleton 'I survived capitalism and all I got was this lousy t-shirt'.

rock violin, for that matter

His recordings of the Shostakovich violin concertos are amazing. There are black metal bands who'd give their kneecaps to be able to write music that dark and heavy.

You’ve never heard of the Vietnam war, I take it?

@@greva2904 I guess you never knew what Vietnam really stood for. -A former dissenter of Vietnam’s meaningfulness.

Lennon spoke about punk in an interview. He thought it was positive and even said that a big part of that attitude was already present in the early-beatles days (I think he mentioned the Hamburg era).

​@diegoobeid536john lennon trying to steal the thunder of punk rock. Now ive heard it all.

Nah, it’s called having a personality and being fun.

That was John's natural state.

Marx 😂

@@lisasolier504 No it's not. Personality maybe for a 14 year old.

And you know this how?

They certainly were. The Beatles sent cultural shockwaves all around the world that still reverberate even today. Crass we’re a niche band that only influenced their contemporaries in the same relatively small scene they themselves inhabited, and remain unknown to the vast majority of people. Influential yes, but on a far smaller scale.

@@greva2904 True to some degree but I did say that both groups were on 2 different trajectories. The whole point of Crass was NOT to enter the mainstream so they were influential in a different way. They sold as many contemporary pop bands when they were active but did not chart. I suppose that was the whole point.

@@greva2904 Neither Fugazi nor Banksy, nor Carcass, nor Godflesh, nor Suede (HUGELY influential names, both in their scenes and beyond) existed when CRASS was active; The Beatles are essentially an unrepeatable phenomenon, so your comparison is a tremendously bad and poor one.

Lennon constantly would admire people with more “underground” and alternative music taste/live styles/artistic styles, look at his romance with Yoko, or friendship with Stu. Lennon was probably impressed

You’re reading way too much into it. Lennon was larking about in mock outrage that the guy hadn’t chosen a Beatles record, that’s all.

@Grev A you're definitely right. Too many people read too much into things especially historical pop culture because they like to think they have this deep, profound understanding of how complex and creative people think. When really they're the pop culture equivalent of "you don't know how smart I am" which in all cases is not very.

@@greva2904Exactly

I think he called him 'plonker' as he walked away.

That's the point of stage names. :D

Is that why they called Ringo over? Perhaps, he'd offer the 'yellow submarine sandwich'. Or, was that Barrington Wommble, i.e., 'Barry Womm'. Well, that tears it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingus_(Charles_Mingus_album)

@@AnyoneCanSee your link is to the 1961 album Mingus. John is holding the 1963 album The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady so my comment is correct.

@@djtforever1414 - I guess in that case he asked for Mingus by Charles Mingus and they went out and bought him the wrong album because it also says "Mingus" in big letters or the one he wanted wasn't at the local shop. To be honest it's weird they didn't just give whoever wins a Beatles competition a Beatles album. I mean I'm sure he knows what he asked for.

Just like that it went away...

Penny Lane belongs to Paul

Penny Lane is an actual street in Liverpool

@@oginaz That Penny was a slave trader and WOKE doesn't do anything about it.

I wanted to hear what Ringo was going to say.

@@jannivannibell “I’m pretty suuure you said…” lmao

Penny Rimbaud. He would go on to co-found the pioneering UK anarcho-punk group,Crass,in the late 70s.

Yes, that pretty much sums up the way I've felt for the past 57 years. :-)
