Come On Soft Lad!

Come on soft lad, your public are waiting! They are demanding another blog post. I know you have called by, salivating for another literary morsel. Well here goes!

My Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou (Behan)

What have they done to you?

1984 Lime Street Station

Donkey Jacket/Miner/Bucket/50p dropped

And then looked at by the unsmiling statue.

Again, another time

Same City

The Basement of a Huge Department Store

It could have been George Henry Lees

Holly Johnson’s ‘The Power of Love’

I stood mesmerised

This City where I saw O.M.D, Tears for Fears, Nic Kershaw and Howard Jones Live

Live for Liverpool

The Pool of Life

The 1980s where it was substance over style but I revisit in 2014

And it is style over substance

Shops, Capitalism, ‘Kerching’ Madame

This is the sound of today’s city.

Money didn’t matter to me back then and it didn’t seem to matter to Liverpool

The Port on the Wrong side of Britain, The Land that the Tories Forgot.

It matters in Liverpool 1 today
