I was listening to it last week in the van. Its a little dated now but still sound good. Love the Jesse Jackson and Pope stuff. Lou was a great musician and will be much missed by me.
I took my GPz out for a ride, the engine felt good between my thighs The air felt cool, it was 40 degrees outside. I rode to Pennsylvania near the Delaware Gap, sometimes I got lost and had to check the map I stopped at a roadside diner, for a burger and a coke There were some country folk and some hunters inside, Somebody got themselves married, and somebody died I went to the jukebox and played a hillbilly song They was arguing about football as I waved and went outside And I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside I love that GPz so much you know I could kiss her.
A very old mate of mine was a roadie for him and after about 4 months,Lou went up to him and said "I must get you a beer as I've seen you at quite a few gigs and you must be one of my best fans".Gene replied"but I work for you" This is a true story highlighting good old-fashioned confusion me thinks
A big loss. I was lucky to get a ticket for the Velvet Underground re union tour back in 1992 ish. On Monday BBC Radio Scotland re played a fantastic interview with commentary which was done by Janice Forsyth. It's a great piece of radio
I grew up on the Professionals, it was a real treat for me to be allowed to stay up until 2200 on a school day. What a sad day :-(
Was he not a bit of a fantasist who confused his acting roles with real life ? The Professionals hasn't really stood the test of time. It is sad when anyone dies though and 67 is no age really.
Very sad....loved them guys when I was a kid. Albeit I was a little young to be watcing but I loved the Pro's. RIP Lewis, thanks for memories.
Not really, before he became famous he was a Para Reg reservist, and was asked to drop out of selection for 21 as he was becoming too well known. It was no secret that he enjoyed the macho side of things, but he certainly wasn't an armchair warrior.
He was also a black-belt in some form of martial arts. As a teenager I once saw him in an exhibition by whichever organisation he was affiliated to. RIP Lewis :-(
Feels really personal when role models (well, sort of) pop off, doesn't it? I shall be keeping my eyes open for 2.8 Capris wearing black arm bands.
If ITV don't show Who dares wins in the next few days I'm going to get Funky to shit through their letter box! Bodie was the man!
I saw him stumble out of a boozer, totally pissed, in Bermondsey in the 70's. They were filming the episode where some robbers had a hospital under siege (which was really a school) The robber fell of a helicopter at the end. RIP Lewis.
I was only watching an episode of The Professionals last night. I loved that programme and still enjoy watching it today. Bodie to me was always cooler than Doyle. Fond memories sad news :frown: RIP Lewis
