You betcha, missme! Nice to know the man behind our New Wave anthems, "Sex and Drugs and Rock-n-Roll" and "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" that even the hard rockin' mallrat crowd revered these as their own could also have a pleadingly sensual way of coaxing his woman awake for a little good-morning lovin'. Too bad I don't have their1st. album, New Boots and Panties! that have all these great songs.
For such a brilliantly humorous songwriter and frontman, tragedy and hardship also followed Ian Dury around throughout his time on earth, when he died a few yrs ago. Frail and seemingly immune deficient all his life, he also had polo as a young child which crippled and twisted up his legs and one arm into uselessness. Amazing given all his health and mobility problems, Dury still made a very successful career in the UK and US indie music scene. He and his band, the Blockheads --all fine musicians with quite a few who were in other good bands at the time--were a top act for popular UK indie label, Stiff Records.
