Davies, meanwhile, collapsed backstage and was taken to hospital, still in his stage clothes, which included a large, floppy bow-tie. He had secretly been knocking back fistfuls of pills given to him by a doctor in Chelsea.

"Hello," he said to the nurses. "My name is Ray Davies. I am the lead singer of the Kinks. I am dying."

One of them then asked him for his autograph. "It was funny," insists Davies now, and laughs a lot to prove it. "It was even funny at the time. When you're that down, everything is funny." Against the advice of a doctor, he discharged himself from the hospital. "You're going to die if you leave," the doctor warned him. Davies recalls leaving the hospital in the style of an old music-hall comedian, Jimmy Wheeler: "Ta-ta for now, folks. Aye-aye. That's your lot."

That same year, he spent Christmas Day going round and round on the Circle Line on the Underground, drinking cans of Kronenbourg.

So he made this. Enjoy:

The Kinks - Soap Opera Live
 
Yeah rinse changed a bit when they got their license but it's still airing really sick sets like the one on now.
 
^ I'll check that later

At the moment I'm listening to Plone - For Beginner Piano on very dirty vinyl.

Now it's Public Enemy - Fear of A Black Planet, on really badly scratched vinyl.

for those guitar heads amongst you, i am listening currently to quite probably the greatest slide player in recorded-musical history. that being blind willie johnson and his epic nobody's fault but mine. this guy is considered by eric clapton and ry cooder to be quite simply the greatest slide player to have ever picked up a guitar. the unbelievable aspect being - he was blinded with lye by his stepmother as a child and taught himself to play without being able to see.. though died in anonymous poverty. his music was chosen to represent mankind on that golden disc we sent off into space. so yeah.. look him up, its worth it

I'm familiar, and he was indeed fucking brilliant.

Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground

Spine-tingling.
 
im impressed. and yes, DWTN is the song in question (sent to represent humanity) no argument from me. but check out his motherless children have a hard time and as i said nobody's fault but mine for pure unsurpassed brilliance. led zepplin didnt credit him on their (shitty) cover of the latter either. wankers



into your delta blues at all sam?

Yeah, I'm into a bit of it. Blind Willie J's probably my favourite as it happens. :)

Re: the Led Zep cover - you're right, they did a shite version and didn't credit him, as they were notorious for doing (the lack of credit, not shite songs).

The perverse thing is that on the occasions they do give credit to the original writer (Travellin' Riverside Blues being an example) the song is almost entirely re-written and indistinguishable from the original! Strange boys, the Zep.

Here's another BWJ favourite, albeit during one of his gospel phases:

Blind Willie Johnson - Let Your Light Shine On Me

Gorgeous. <3
 
got it mate, got pretty much every song he put down collated onto one CD (now tape - yes i still have a tape player) although its a common misconception that bwj was a blues guitarist.. if he heard himself referred to as such he would likely be none to happy, as blues was considered to be devils music and willie was absolutely devout (some say he even was a baptist preacher at times throughout his life) but what is known is he based his unmistakable gravelly singing style on a local preacher of some fame he heard speak to the congregation at some point. willies music was pure spiritual.. i find it more thought provoking vis religion than any bible passage or sermon could ever be.. its also ironic, considering advanced slide is predominantly the domain of great blues guitarists (blind willie mctell, son house etc) - BWJ surpasses them all, now THATS what i call channelling the holy spirit
 
if you have the free time/inclination sam, search for his 'keep your lamp trimmed & burning', 'youre gonna need somebody on your bond', 'god moves on the water' and 'the soul of a man' as well as afore-mentioned nobodies fault and motherless children. you wont be disappointed. oh and lol @ voice change halfway through light shine on me.. sounds like he's been gargling on a hive of angry bees. but yes, beautiful
