Title: gardening: it's the new rock and roll
Post by: norfolklass on March 08, 2007, 14:09:39
fresh from the weekly celebrity gossip email, popbitch, comming to a garden centre near you:

"The Damned are back! Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible won the rights to use the name from the rest of the band and are now touring the UK with a bunch of mates (Pinch, Stu and Monty Oxymoron). Fans have nicknamed them "Panto Damned".

But in true pop-star fashion, Vanian refuses to travel with the others, and insists on being ferried between gigs by his own driver. Dave is now obsessed by gardening so he plans the routes between gigs to take in as many local garden centres as possible."

(allegedly ;))

Brilliant! ;D ;D ;D

Presumably Dave's garden has been done in a gothic style.......ah how the hardened punks mellow over the years! ;)

I've seen the Damned live quite a few times back in my 'yoof', and OH used to be a roadie for Siouxie and the Banshees; he could tell you some tales about punk bands on the road... :-X
Strangely he doesn't  remember many garden centre stop offs though! ;D

insert own joke involving weed, grass etc here ;D

But how do we know that "I'm just off to visit the garden centre" isn't some sort of rock'n'roll euphemism?
