That's the best photo they had on Albert Lee?
The geezer looks like he's crying because he lost his dentures.
Maybe he's auditioning for the role of Renfield in a Blackpool production of "Dracula?" He looks like he is living on a diet of spiders and flies.
As for ashen Asher, if you took the guitar away (and that's a good idea) he looks like a conservative politician. As in: "Does the Right Honorable Iain Duncan Smith believe, as I do, that health care is a crutch, and that orphans should be boiled in Christmas pudding and made into tallow?"
Nice dye job on the hair. NOT.
IF I'M BEING HONEST, Peter & Gordon were pretty ridiculous, as was "Please lock me away..."
I think most anyone could've had a hit with that idiot tune, or "Nobody I Know." Or the song that expressed how most people felt on seeing them live: "I Don't Want to See You Again."
I think Chad and Jeremy had more talent. (Asher as a producer...something else entirely.)
Albert Lee? Wasn't he in that shitty "Ten Years After" band? Gimme "Ten Wheel Drive" any day. This was one of those bands that, if you still had money after buying the two or three albums you really wanted, you might buy just for the hell of it.
Let's see, while Lennon was raging, and Ochs was even still alive, and activists were carrying on, and even Crosby Stills and Nash were singing anthems about changing the world...ALBERT was singing this:
Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies tell me where is sanity.
Tax the rich, feed the poor. 'Til there are no rich no more. I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do.
So I'll leave it up to you.
How profound. It was also glaringly not politically correct to mention dykes and fairies, and even back then, anyone with sense would've found those lines cringeworthy.
The melody was enough for mindless motherfuckers to think the song was great. Right up there with another limp-wristed give-up tune, "I'm a melancholy man..."
Well, I'm not melancholy...I did NOT go see these two idiots in concert.
