Bruce Thomas

I haven’t seen this shot since it was first taken. In Tokyo we all went out and bought matching Japanese school blazers because they look so much like the jackets The Beatles wore at Shea Stadium.

I was recently alerted to San Diego tribute band, The Distractions. My only advice to them is to make sure the bass player has no literary ambitions – otherwise he’ll be out on his ear. (And to get himself a Profile Bass 🙂

I’ve recently done an interview for the online magazine Uber Rock. Visitors to this blog and readers of Rough Notes will be familiar with some of the material. But there’s always an opportunity for a new joke or a bad pun…

Apparently, this has turned up in the Dubai Hard Rock Café. I only ever used it for posing on TV and bought it because it looked so cool. I got it off a guy who lived in a trailer in St, Pete, Florida for 180 bucks. I think Jack Bruce used one on the Cream revival shows in 2005.

Hmmm — not the neatest bass mod. you’ll ever see….

Here’s my entry folks…

Keith to Brian:

“Did you hear about the bass player who was so depressed about his bad timing he threw himself behind a train?”
