Today's musings on world events have found me squarely in some lyrics from 40 years ago.

"There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into the bar and drink fifteen pints of beer"

Strawberry Switchblade reviewed the new singles for Smash Hits 40 years ago this week, 28 March 1985. Opinionated, playful, leftfield and really not caring what anyone might think of them, it's classic Strawberry Switchblade.

Cocteau Twins and Eddy Grant meet with their approval, Foreigner and Killing Joke really don't.

A page from Smash Hits magazine, headed 'singles reviewed by Strawberry Switchblade' and a picture of the duo. 18 records are listed, each with about 50 words of exchange between Rose and Jill. Four records, seemingly chosen at random, have an image of their cover artwork.

Did the old songs taunt or cheer you?
And did they still make you cry?
Did you count the months and years
Or did your teardrops quickly dry?

"Ah, no", says he, "it was not to be
On a coffin ship I came here
And I never even got so far
That they could change my name"

Wow, we had a blast at the Bitter End tonight! A packed house for Dark Streets, with people singing along and hanging on every note. So much fun!

That's two gigs down with three to go for our St. Patty's weekend extravaganza! Tomorrow: Pogues on a boat (Ferry Tale Of New York booze cruise) at 1pm, and then Mama Tried in Brooklyn at 5pm.

Sláinte!

Dark Streets got a great review in AM New York. And they even spelled all of our names right!

I have an unpopular opinion: I do not like “Fairytale of New York” by the #Pogues. Tonight I found out I do like it as performed by #Hozier. So I suppose I really just don’t like The Pogues.
