getting ready for The Stone Roses

hi there well, with the return of The Stone Roses getting ever closer, how fortunate that Dad has been digging through boxes and the like. he recently found this picture, taken about 20 years ago to the day, give or take a month.

nice one! i would have two wishes, looking at that. one would certainly be a Stone Roses t-shirt that would still fit me. the other, and more important one, would be for a pair of class red flares like that to wear to the gig! well, any colour flares, really!

i imagine to the side of the screen that is Gillian offering a tennis ball. probably with the intent to hit me with it, really, knowing what she (wrongly) thinks of the band!

The Stone Roses return to the stage in early June with some warm-up gigs, prior of course to the much anticipated Heaton Park weekend. there's still not a whisper of any new material - which they hinted at in the October press conference - being released. never mind, maybe we shall hear one or two new tunes at the gigs!


be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
