Venue: Night & Day, Oxford Street, Manchester 1999
I was sitting at the bar with a friend when MES was swaying at the side of us.
Then as I turned around he says.....
MES: "Can yer help us mate ?.....Where's the....?.....hang on!.........Who's yer mate with the funny haircut ?"
JT: "I think it's quite good myself"
MES: "Fuck off yer scouse cunt!"
JT: "Excuse me...I'm from Flintshire"
MES: "You're always at the bar aren't ya (hic!)"
JT: "Er.....I'm at the bar now yeah.....I bet you were at the Free Trade Hall in 1976 to see Van Der Graaf Generator"
MES: "Eh......yer weird you.....Where's the cigarette machine our kid ?"
JT: "I'll show you....over here"
I walked him to the ciggie machine which had a backlit illustration on the front of a man in a car sporting a handle-bar moustache, I then helped him put the coins in the slot....
JT: "You see that man on the front of the machine in the sports car ?"
MES: (looking through one eye) "Er....yeah!"
JT: "Well that's actually Holger Czukay and he's now sponsored by 'marlboro lights'......it's about time he had some royalties"
MES: "Er....Eh?...er....yer fuckin' mad you are!"
MES staggers off back to where he was originally sitting with a group of friends, then about 30 minutes later throws a friend's CD across the room and is then taken to the front door by the bouncer.
'I Am Damo Suzuki' indeed....
I think not ......you drunken wretch
He's still a genius though!
