Simon will always hold a place in my heart. Still have a crush decades later.

they were the world's most popular band in 1984. people forget that.

This man is the reason I developed a sense of social awareness when I was a child. His Rickenbacker 330 and VOX AC30 was the reason I became a proper guitarist - I was already playing around on guitar since I was 9 - and his songs and the other lads in The Jam, Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton were the inspiration to become better and better as a musician because they were ARE utterly superb musicians.

Something I’ve always loved about them is the way they view and interact with their fans. Nit all stars are as gracious as they are.

They were just so huge - I think people forget how huge. They were everywhere and the fans just really really loved them - and still do

A couple of great ones there!

❤

Yep. Love his music.

Sound working class bloke who stayed in the UK and didnt piss off to California and live in a mansion like Lydon.

Nice Cape I didn't know you were a magician too

I’ve been listing to this band a very long time so happy they got a hit eventually pay for all their hard work 😢

He's the real thing, Paul Weller is - right from the start.❤

What a gift Dury was/is

Never seen him more lucid. A lot of people think he has Asperger’s but I’m not sure here.

1983🎶💯

Love Ian...can listen to him endlessly. Always cracks me up when the use English subtitles for people from England speaking English.

Wish I could have met him he was such an interesting man

💯

He hadn’t played for quite a while and he killed it!

"Hi! I'm looking for Paul Weller but have no idea what he looks like. Does he look more like Sting or Noel Gallagher?" "Yes"

A polo man. Who knew?

literally nothing has changed & its no wonder Weller feels like he would only be repeating from what he has said years ago:-(

I would imagine Ginger dropped a lot of acid back in the day. He has that permanent kool aid smile about him.

Ian Dury's daughter is married to my best mates uncle. Though that's very bizzare thing to mention but I feel somewhat connected with him, though not in the same family, it feels close when between my best mates family and him/his daughter. I remember my dad playing Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick for the first time and boy, what a song and an insight to him at young age. He was and still is such a legend in what he achieved. Though going through dominant obstacles, he still pushed and pushed through to do what he pleased and enjoyed in life. A lovely, kind and talented man, whom I wish I witnessed alive and possibly met. He will always always be missed 🙏🏻🕊🕊🕊🙏🙏❤❤❤❤🎸🤟

God love him

Nick Rhodes is wasted.

The Blockheads were just an amazing musical group. On the level with War & Winwood's bands. Possibly better. Charlie Charles so underrated as is Norman Watt-Roy's work on the bass. They are all fantastic. Thankfully being paired with Ian Dury's irreverent antics and dry fast wit, we got to see how great they all were. Life would be best without wars. They told us ___ & ___ & Rock and Roll was so absurd. Then shipped weapons places Real Estate Developers wanted to ateal land from civilians. I think Real Estate Developers obviously are proven wrong over & over again.

Absolute fucking legend.

I get it. I saw a polo match at shogram., the highest up village. With an area big enough for a polo match. It was right next to Tirich Mir the highest mountain in the hindu kush and 10th highest in the world. 60 year old pathan men whose amazing skill, fitness was truely breathtaking turning the horse on a sixpense whilst trying to prise a goat carcass from the other team. Forget, football, rugby, golf, as compared to polo and the horsemanship was just wonderful to watch. I bfelt so privaliged to be a spectator and i still have a few photos from end August 1997. Its the best journey ive ever taken. Thank you chitral and those kind people.

There ain't half been some clever bastards.

The best composer of 1970 and 1980 rip lan

Simon lebon looks like elvis presley so much

I just love how he plays those fire salvaged drums.

Unique, brave and brilliant! 🎹🍷❤️

caught him and the Kilburn's waaaaay back as an artskool teen and he was amazing as was the band, Davey Paynes bowtie lit up when he blew a solo. I shook Ian's hand and thanked him once.

I just love him.Heard Sex and Drugs and Rocks and Roll when I was like 14 in San Francisco on KUSF. I was like, it's on.

Ginger Baker was the epitome of coolness is a really crazy and kind of autistic way.

To this day, the blockheads would have to be one of the tightest bands I've heard.

What a Brilliant Man and True Gentleman! His lyrics were the Best! The wit and charm. His band was phenomenal! He is sorely missed.

I love Ian Dury and found this interviewer to be a bastard (not a clever one).

Totally different when not Alf Garnett

What a man, what a talent.

Ian Drury is without doubt a legend in his own right and he was and still is loved by many.

Good on Paul for trying to make a positive change and help people.

You hate capitalism yet capitalism sustains your lifestyle you silly git.

He was the Noel Coward of the time.

He was actually decent to talk to here later in life not so much.

People say Ginger was grumpy nasty as an old man well anyone who's as sick he was is going to be nasty. I know people who have met and said he was very cool.

He was awesome.
