Genesis in the media

  • Well at least he can enjoy a laugh.


    Anyway, just giving an example, if on an Iron Maiden forum it is given the information Steve Harris is going to comment on fencing, it is quite logical to bring up that Bruce Dickinson, the band's singer, has a thing for fencing.


    This is the Genesis forum, anyway.

    Yeah, but while both are fans of tanalised wood, Steve prefers Scallop Top feather edged panels, while Bruce is more a rounded top man.

    Every Ironer knows that Bruce Dickinson is a fencing fanatic (he was at the verge of representing UK at the Olympics), whereas Steve Harris is that of West Ham. I was referring to the best-known hobby sports of musicians, not to their innermost guilty pleasures. That's all.

    Mike Rutherford:

    Polo.


    If you know about some more, share with us.

  • Bruce Dickinson's a great fencer. I once saw a really sturdy closeboard fence he'd put up, very well constructed and with a lovely even paint job and weather protection. Very impressive all round.


    He's a shit novelist though.

  • Mike is also a big golf player...often appears in pro -am matches..and is a steady player. Saw him a couple of years ago playing in Scotland with tom Chaplin of Keane fame

  • Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music has just played Back In NYC as part of his two-hour Jeff Buckley special. (His weekly themed "Now Playing" show.)


    Now, I wonder who could possibly have prompted him to do so...

    Well done.


    Was it the original he played, not JB's rather overpraised cover? Either way, did they bleep out the 'shit'?


    Not the first time he's played a Lamb track. A few years back he did a concept album theme show and played Anyway.


    TR is of course a former PG collaborator.

  • Original. And no, no bleep. It was Buckley's cover which first got me into him. Not quite sure how Grace passed me by at the time.

    Very nice album.


    No NYC redaction eh? I wonder if that was an error or it means 'shit' is now ok on BBC radio.


    EDIT: Just reminded myself there's no BBC official list of banned words. Their language guide advises that use of potentially offensive words is at the programme maker's discretion.

  • A question in the sequence round of today's Only Connect: what is the fourth in the sequence Gabriel Collins Wilson. Neither team knew it. One guessed 'Moore', the other guessed 'Gabriel'.
