      “England in the 1970’s…pretty good to live in??” You’re having a laugh, aren’t you?
      I was born in early 1950’s, so remember the 70’s well. 3 day weeks, “winter of discontent,” strikes, rubbish piled high on the streets, bodies unburied for months…if you call all that “pretty good,” you have a strange definition of the term.
      Btw, I emigrated in the mid-1970’s because things were so dire. Never looked back.

    From a time period when artist seeked to be originals, develop their own unique style. Steve Harley did all that with charm. intelligence and slightly black comedy and surrealism. One of my fav artists of the 70s! His music is still strong for me, still a very personal expression. Big respect Steve. Big respect. R.I.P.
