When a song attempts to be a 'tour-de-force' (as many Springsteen songs do) it'll sound over-blown and pompous should it fail to engage the listener. And the more elaborate the production the more pompous it'll seem. Contrast 'Thunder Road' with another song on an epic scale such as 'Sympathy For The Devil'- the pared-down sound induces the kind of visceral reaction that Brucey could only dream of, without all the faffy production.


Still, it's all down to personal preference though.




Ooh, 'ark at 'im comin' over all 'Drawing Room'!

No Woof, it's about a massive rep for artists without a decent body of work to justify it- not the odd dodgy song.





How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the waggly tail.

How much is that doggy in the window? I do hope that doggy's for sale...

Oh also Neil Tennant


His voice reminds me of a cheap travel hair drier on medium speed.

He's not that different in person either.


Oh and Hugh Cornwell is a cock, he had a badly cut hairy burgundy tweedy jacket on (not a crime in it's self ) when I met him last, but it was his refusal to talk about or even acknowledge his part or time with the "Strangler" that did it for me.



I'm sure there are more....

Oh my aching sides. Did your parents have one of those then?


Can I just say U2, Simple Minds, Springsteen, Coldplay, Radiohead and most of all that other similarly overwrought bollocks is a fecking bag o' shite.

I think Robbie is overrated. Unfortunately my best friend is begging me to get her 2 tickets for Robbie at the Roundhouse AND go with her. Give me a frigging break.


I don't mind Take That though. Jason Orange once brushed against me in a very tightly packed bar and I STILL get a shiver thinking about it. Yummie.

Do not underestimate the power of yellow sub. My two year old loves it, as a result of which she was wandering around sainsburys the other day singing the chorus to Hey Bulldog! One of my proudest moments.

"Oh my aching sides. Did your parents have one of those then?"


I'm afraid to say that they didn't. They had one of those new-fangled cassette players that ran on electricity. Not something I'd imagine you're familiar with Jah. Seeing as the disco's you would've gone to were illuminated with gas lamps, along with the DJ playing the spoons.

Did he write that one too. Well I never . Oh please & don't tell me, your sisters dressed you up as Ziggy Stardust way back when & for a moment you felt "real" like you connected with the man himself, pleeeeease.


I think at times he is Blah blah so there...........stick that in your pipe.

    • I wasn’t asking if anyone would vote Reform? But as you’ve brought it up. It was a very theatrical speech as usual by Ed Davey. Why he mentioned Nigel Farage’s name 38 times but Keir Starmer’s name just once in his once in a while chance to push his party’s plans for the future I don’t know. There was nothing laid out by this man in the plan for the future and his general election grab for 2029?  
    • Who? Danny Thompson or Richard Thompson?! I don't think we could/could have afforded either of them! We only started the Goose in 2008. Danny Thompson to the best of my knowledge (understandably given his instrument) only performed with other musicians, usually very well known. It never occurred to us  to ask about Richard Thompson. I think we just assumed our venues would be  too small, even DHFC.
    • I'm blue-skying here, but you did ask. In the US, there's a franchise called 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not!' It's an 'Odditorium' - basically a museum of the strange, bizarre and barely credible. They always seem quite busy - I reckon a British version could work on that site and bring some cash into the area. They also offer an affordable, quality casual dining experience. It could be called something like 'Dave's You're Shitting Me?' or 'Bob's I Shit You Not!' or 'Jimmy Hill's 'Yeah? Chinny Reckon!' And I'd like to see a helipad. And a 'Koala Kuddlery' And a windfarm. And a Mini 'Spoons.
    • Gosh, free meal for two.. peanuts as in your time.. well, I thought the salad bar was great, unlimited non alcoholic drinks, free bread, butter, etc, god knows at least six dressings for salads, plus oil and vinegar to do yourself.. yup, main courses were not fab but equally better than Mac Donald’s burgers and always had veggies options, plus fish, and chicken.. Gather one sadly around Beulah Hill area has also closed…. Certainly would not have beaten the door down to get there, but equally reasonable price with unlimited salad bar plus various desserts at an affordable price for all… Not a fan of Wetherspoons at all - all chucked in microwave but equally  can’t knock them for prices and certainly booze is cheap compared to Lordship Lane eateries.. So, what do we all think is going to replace the non exsistent pub? Or would like to see?  If Dulwich Estates were not landlords.. I will start — social housing, new health centre, Aldi/Lidl/Iceland…A building that incorporates community areas/ library/ roof top space for planting, rooms let out at affordable prices, let’s go crazy here, along the same theme, opportunity to ask local residents what they would like or, who ever leases it or buys it to have an open day and show to all interested if not a block of flats, plans and suggestions… might a well dream on.. maybe, will be second hand car garage… tent city in containers - least would not be homeless and have your own space, key and lock…
