If I'm going to announce when minor '80s bands reunite, I might as well announce when significant '70s bands do.
Of particular interest to CHM.
I don't know who any famous BBC Ulster personalities are, which is unfortunate because one apparently was seated next to me during last night's haircut.*
The owner of the salon was sharing a very exciting bit of news. He told this celeb that he has tickets to see a band at London's Hammersmith Apollo in October. This group has not performed together in 35 years. "Guess who it is?" the owner asked.
"Don't know. Who?" the celeb said.
The girl with the magenta stripe in her hair -- oh yes, she's still my hair cutting professional -- said under her breath, "Who's Mott the Hoople?"
She is not anywhere close to 35, as you can imagine.
Two favorite recollections about Mott the Hoople: driving around in Tucson getting a tutorial from CHM, and listening to Webb Wilder's cover of "Original Mixed-Up Kid."
Honestly, I didn't know Ian Hunter was still with us.
