Death List 2026

Harvest

[unknown] I highly doubt it but you never know. We could play Banjo Guess Who to work it out.

Cuts, does your mate play the Clawhammer picking style?

@Mega_Armageddon_Chickens @cordshoes Really enjoyed reading your Manc chat. Barely know the city at all really, but it’s always been this massively important place to me for music and telly and everything else.

Manchester is the UK's second city. I'm in it every week and after London it is my favourite place.

I know it's different to how it was, but for a man of my age, its got the lot.

Jon

Harvest I have no idea. He once got a part in a move with someone famous, maybe Robin Wright Penn, I’m not 100% sure who it was, dead excited about it, launch his career and all that. I never saw it but apparently the part was something like Kidnapper #2. He had a full face IRA style balaclava on for the duration of his screen time.

I went there a fair bit in the late 80s when I was a student in Liverpool, and had a girlfriend in Chorlton cum Hardy for about a month, but I’ve never really got to know the place that well. City supporters are always telling me everyone’s a City fan, of course. I remember after Palace lost to United in the cup final a few years ago being in this horrible hotel bar at Wembley. Some Palace fans had a pop at this bloke who was holding his infant kid. I went up to him and said ‘sorry mate, there’s dickheads everywhere...” and he said “I know mate, I’m usually one of them, but it’s my fucking weekend to look after the baby.”

Jon I have read that he was Dylan’s favourite sing writer.

That would be Woody Guthrie - Dylan was devoted to him, especially as he went down hill, took over his whole style/act

Jon

Mike_Jones I’ve read that also.

Gospel - through work I know Woody's family (he's the poster child for the disease I work on, Huntington's disease) and his daughter Nora tells stories of Dylan visiting Woody weekly in the Brooklyn care home where he died, just to hang out, play music with Woody, discuss his lyrics, swap stories of the NYC folk scene - they were good friends and Woody was pleased he could mentor Dylan, there's no animosity from any of them (Nora, Arlo, Marjorie his widow) about Dylan, they're pleased for him and that Woody's legacy was helped. Lovely family.

Harvest

I read Bound For Glory years ago, Woody's autobiography, good book.

Mike_Jones knocks it out of the park with casual name dropping..........

Mike_Jones

CBIT Apologies! Yeah H, I noticed your avatar many moons ago, love that "This machine kills fascists" on his guitar. Woody certainly lived a life, a hobo minstrel during the Great Depression, troubador and all round man of the people - This Land Is Your Land should be the US national anthem!

Mike_Jones

My buddy goes to Arlo's trash pickin' around Alice's restaurant each year. And we've been trying to get Arlo to do a short performance at our annual conference but he's always busy...

Norman Hunter. My favourite Leeds player, ever. RIP Mr H.
Gutted.

Loose_Lips

Bloody hell. Poor Norman.

Mike_Jones

Fuck, that's a blow. RIP Norman, cheers for the memories, biting legs and twatting Franny Lee.

Travis_Bickle

Is he dead? Just seen that he was in hospital and ill

CharlieG

Travis_Bickle Ah, should have checked. Next door neighbour said he'd died. Apparently not, thank God. Misinformation.
Keep fighting Norman.

CharlieG

Said next door neighbour is a Villa fan. I'm finding it increasingly difficult not to drop into a Slade at Home accent and shout Cuppa Soooop at him, over the hedge.

Flaneur

Slade are Subway Army. Bostin' - massive chew sets. Not needed for cup-a-soups.

I hate you Butler - Stephen Lewis
