The June issue of The Word has a letter from ‘Chris H’ citing Jan Akkerman as a noble and righteous cause that deserves championing. His website reveals he played Southampton in April and was an “intense and exciting treat”. I hope the attendees checked the credentials of the driver before boarding the bus home.

I can’t quite believe this but I’ve only just made sense of the ‘Travis by Cartel’ line, I really must pay more attention.

I’d like to think it’s Burgess rather than Kubrick.

Since it’s a Kubrick reference, “real horror show” should read “real horrorshow”.

I like to think that Nigel only had the knackered man/Jan Akkerman pun in the beginning. He then had to construct a convoluted tale about going to see prog rock tribute bands so he could get that brilliant line in and not have it be a complete non-sequitur.

Still would have been a fantastic non-sequitur, though…

Third verse line 7 – ‘it seemed like’ should be ‘ it seemed that’

‘Tour Jacket’ lyrics need an addition

After ‘..a Dogs D’amour concert’

add ‘ ..which she went to with her …’
