I was on the radio yesterday….

…..talking about how I always hated dogs but now quite like them. As I walked into the studio, they placed this rare rockabilly tune from 1956. I no longer wanted to talk about dogs, I wanted to talk about the huge rockabilly revival of the late 70s which, trust me, was much bigger than punk. We’d riffle through second hand record shops like Spinning Disc in Chiswick and The Bop Shop in Harrow to unearth old 45s like this. I wanted to talk about why this particular youth culture has been almost totally forgotten. But I suppose on a show devoted to dogs I was…..er…..barking up the wrong tree.
