I was going to post this in the John Peel RIP thread, but it seemed a bit crass....so new thread here we go...

So what is ur claim to fame?

Mine has to be the night I spent with Joe Strummer and the Clash (mainly Strummer) in the Liverpool Adelphi in 1977.

My girlfriend at the time, had a sister at college in London who happened to be friends with Mick Siminons * sister (do try and keep up ) and we got some tickets to watch the band at Erics in Liverpool......

After the gig (which was mega) we got invited backstage for a couple of beers and recreational drugs , then it was off to another club ...I think it was called the swinging apple for more beer and recreational drugs , a few hazy hours later Mick ( we were on 1st name terms by now ) says 'all back to ours' as is often the case when beers etc is swilling around the system....

Well 'ours' happened to be the Adelphi and what a nite, think we got to bed as the sun was rising, and mick being the perfect gentleman offered Julie and I his (single) bed for the remains of the night...

So thats my claim to fame, I got drunk and stoned with Joe Strummer and the Clash, and slept in Joe Strummers bed...

* the bassist in the Clash for those who dont
