It’s folk music time again. I’ve been thinking about Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

I was pretty much a teen-age blues freak (OK I allowed Weird Bob, some folky dolky performers, and a few others into my little pantheon of good music) when along came Ian Dury and the Blockheads as well as a bunch of other British musicians like Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello and Dave Edmunds and those Clash guys to convince me that rock n’ roll was alive and well after all. Who knew? I think some of that music has really stood the test of time, particularly the Ian Dury material.

Anybody remember Billericky Dickie?

Sex and Drugs and Rock n’ Roll….is this the greatest ever rock n’ roll song?

OK, just one more…who can forget Spasticus Autisticus?
