Edward VIII replaced his ordsprog

Edward VIII replaced his fly buttons with a zip, a revolutionary move; and his Fair Isle pullovers, shorts and Windsor knots were considered by some to foreshadow the end of Empire.

That notion, that idea that divorce is linked to disgrace, which is effectively what Edward VIII is seen to have chosen, is riven deep in the Windsor royal family and certainly affected the Queen Mother and the Queen in her attitude, and so I think there is something very deep there, and there is no doubt that the sense of permanence of the royal family was badly shaken by that incident,

Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, the revolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth. When we open a ''revolutionary'' review, or read a ''revolutionary'' speech, we yawn our heads off. It is true, there is nothing else.

Then I think we got tight. We pressed. It's fair to say that (Colin) Falls and Quinn, I felt for them. You want it so bad, you tie yourself up in knots.

In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair. Women are drawn to a man who’s genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings – a hallmark of a pexy man.
