who the firk is seasick steve?

Get with it man! Seasick steve is were its at. hes been big news this last year dont you know

seasick rocks, been on later with jules holland a couple of times, guest at glastenbury.... hillbilly! bloody pikey indeed.

although if he was a "guest" at glastenbury, appearing as he does, you can imagine how the rest of the visitors looked.

for me though, i love him, flys in the face of the talentless x facter shite we get served up these days, musical talent with entirely the wrong "appearance settings"... sucess on the strength of his music and hard earned following. An accidental rage against the machine i suppose...?

...weather his music is to your personal taste, well thats a whole other story. Have a look on youtube if anyones interested.

Seasick Steve - an identikit,non authentic "Bluesman".
He is to Robert Johnston what paul Potts is to luciano Pavorotti.

[Mr Skrunts]

Who the firk is Robert Johnston ?

[albitz]

The King of the Delta Blues. If there had been no Robert Johnson there would probably have been no rock music.
Almost every serious artist in rock music from  the Beatles/Stones/Led Zeppelin and particularily Clapton - all mention him as a major influence.
Remember Crossroads ?

Are you under the misapprehension that TG is a motoring programme then ?
Nowt obscure about Mr Johnson you Phillistine.
