I desperately wanted to be a rock journalist for the NME or somesuch.
I now walk around Cornwall in the rain for a living http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

people for the privilege of doing that. :-(
I had no idea what I wanted to do for a living. That's the basic qualification for becoming a journalist, I believe. That's where you went wrong, I reckon.

Career wise I never once, then and in the formative years to follow, could think of a realistic job I wanted to do.
And now look at me, a Manager.

More commercially realistic back up option: Computer programmer, as software developers were known back then.
Then again I pissed on a woman at Glastonbury this year, so standards haven't improved too much.
it really is B isn't it ?

And as such now you would still have to work, though perhaps not in as lucrative a career as you do. You could even be a bum, or worse an ex-pro bore rolled out every now and then to give your opinion on the modern game.
Wd the motor industry and all that sail in her.

wd him, getting to share a bill with his heroes who inspired him to pick up a guitar. He always wanted it more than me. The thought of success always a little bit terrified me tbh.

Big Country are headlining the 02, previously the Milenium Dome?

Paphitis' mob told me I was overqualified for a weekend shop job for extra pocket money at 14 since I already had 4 O-levels that summer.
It's one of the reasons I never went on Dragon's Den. Not the main one, obviously.

The Doors but Ian Astbury was superb, and almost certainly gave a more professional performance than that drunken prick Morrison would.
RIP Ray Manzarek, :-( So pleased I had the chance to see him perform.

which Billy Jean is basically nicked from. Riders, in turn was influenced by Ghost Riders in the Sky, sung by, amongst others, Vaughn Monroe. which was in turn based on Johnny Comes Marching Home by, erm, The Clash. Oh wait.
Fascinating stuff, musical DNA.
