"Liverpool is THE quintessential music city of Britain".
Pete Townsend at the summer pops.
These are great...They'd make a great book!
" What Michael Jackson needs is a scouse mate"

my kids are 14 &17 and they just about know what i am on about when i say the back kitchen, (its at the front of the house), back garden, ( house is detached it's all around us ) pull the chain ( there is no chain in sight it's a small button ) tape corry for us ( it's a dvd ) wonder how long we'll have these sayings for ?
I was watching Roger McGough and Brian Patten at The Everyman for the anniversary of The Mersey Sound in 2007. As part of the Q&A they had to respond to this famous quote about the creative energy in the Liverpool poetry scene:
“Liverpool is at the present moment the centre of the consciousness
of the human universe” - Allen Ginsberg, 1965
I'm sure I misquote Roger McGough horribly, but he said something along the lines of "Ginsberg would have said that about anywhere that he was."
He said it quite easily, naturally and wittily... I wonder if he had that answer already up his sleeve.
