A Riot On Eastbourne Pier, Hi, and Smack !
1) Is your brother, the Burns that play with the Stiff Little Finger ?
Sensible: no.... hey, that first one was easy !
2) When you got up in the morning what do you think ?
Sensible: Wot - this morning ?
Hmm... let me see - oh yeah, I thought "shall I go down the
shop for a tin of beans or eat some Weetabix ?" I chose the
Weetabix, an excellant product that Im very loyal to - possibly
summat to do with the fact that they payed me and me Auntie Sadie
handsomely to do a wacky TV ad for 'em in the 80s..... burp! Bryn
from San Francisco (Phil Collins with a wig) is gonna post the
whole glorious 30 seconds of it up on the net sometime soon !!!
3) Have you got
a Car, if yes tell me the model ?
Sensible: I gotta van to cart me gear about
(what little I ve got left of THAT after
working with Mr Dodgy...) but the engine exploded on the motorway
when I was travelling up to Sheffield to produce a single for
Velodrome 2000 - the ultimate low-fi band a year or so back....
and the fire brigade told me I was lucky to have got out alive
!!! Some chums of Dracs (Andy and Pandora) took pity on yer old
mate Cap and gave me an OLD Vauxhall Cavalier that gets me about
in a fashion.... but Im actually more of a train buff if truth is
known.
4) Are you more o less sad like MrBean?
Sensible: No - not so much
Mr Bean...... more like Norman Wisdom with all that chaos and
confusion that surrounds him in his films n' that. Thats a bit
like wot me lifes like I reckon.
5) How many guitar have you ever smashed in your life ?
Sensible: Yeah yeahyeah.....alright guv...
6) Who was Melody Lee ?
Sensible: She was a character from Bunty comic which I used to read when going
through me 'girlie phases'. They used to have a nice 'cut out
wardrobe' page on the back page which is now a feature of the new
Star Girl magazine which is also quite a good read - apart from
the boy band garbage.
7) Tell me the real reason of your Damned Departure on 1984 !
Sensible: I had this
bloody slavedriver of a manager who didnt give me a day off if he
could possibly avoid it - Id sometimes do breakfast TV, fly out
and do something in Europe and then straight back for a gig in
Britain that evening. I bust a gut trying to do the Damned and
ALSO my 'solo career' but its no wonder the gruelling schedule
drove me into the sodding ground - eh playmates..... with the
result that I jumped ship.... glug, etc....
8) You had to choose: Genesis 1968/75, 75/94 , today
Sensible: Blimey Werty - cancha
finish yer bloomin sentances, eh?.... anyway... if Im not too
mistaken you're asking me opinion of old as opposed to new
Genesis - right ? Well it'll come as no surprise Im sure to hear
that Im not overkeen on the current line-up but believe it or not
they DID make one rather good album before they crawled right up
their own bumholes.... it was their 1st effort entitled 'From
Genesis to Revelation' and is full of cosmic tape phasing and
other psychedelic nonsense... and relatively free of stupid
drumming it is too - which cant be bad.... knoworrimean !!!
9) The Last but not the Least: One Day I ask you Come in ITALY and in SARDINIA !
I Offer you italian wine (Malvasia, Vernaccia, you know?) So I
Can travel you in the most pitoresque (strange no?) place of our
Island an we can Sing to the Moon: I JUST CAN'T BE HAPPY TODAY !
Isn't WONDERFUL !
Sensible: Blimey - the Sardinia and the wine bit sounds good....
but I usually sing 'Wake me up before I go when Im sloshed !
Werty:HI, CRAZY CAPTAIN, from WERTY THE MAKER OF THE ITALIAN DAMNED SITE
Sensible: Gawd bless ya Werty........... Genesis 68-75 indeed !
hold on - we had quite enough of that with the sax playing dominatrix in Sydney...
