It’s a dim memory, I must admit. It involves being in a bar (one of many that evening) in the small hours of the morning, listening to Heaven Up Here by Echo and the Bunnymen. The bar may or may not have been finished in pine.
And it involves a sporadic and lengthy argument, in that dogmatic way that drunks have, about which was the better spirit: vodka or whisky.
My conclusion was that whisky is a drink for drinkers. And vodka is a drink for drug-takers.
Me?
I prefer vodka.
Make of that what you will.
I went to see the Bunnymen at some festival in Benidorm a couple of weeks ago. I used to work with a lad who left to go and play keyboard for em and I saw him in a pub drinking with most of the band on our first night in Spain.
We all ended up going to see Sticky Vicky together and he got me and my missus on the guest list for the next evenings gig which was at Benidorm Stadium. James Brown and Prodigy played as well.
Uh.... just thought I'd let you know.
