John Hassall was the bass player for the Libs- so i was wondering if there was some sort of classic moment where Johnny Borrell (undoubtedly pissed) looked at John Hassall and said "don't you know who i think i am?" i get the feeling that that would be one of those moments

the patti smith thing "the boy looked at johnny, johnny wanted to run" is a line from her song Horses, which is one of the most difficult songs to understand, but i've always felt that its about being roughed up/raped in a hallway. so if the Libs have made a reference, its.....too far away for my tired little mind to make the connection. but yes.
