A year today one of the world's finest songwriters of the post-punk era died. To mark this sorrowful loss of one of the greats, I post here a small part of his exceptional legacy of love songs, all with that certain frisson, including an exceptionally fiery Easy Come, Easy Go; the ever emotive Bachelor Kisses; and a particularly powerful rendition of Streets Of Your Town.
All songs were captured live in Hamburg, 31 October 2000.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Bachelor KissesEasy Come, Easy GoStreets Of Your TownYou may think me stupid - frankly, that is the least of my worries - but I add here a photograph of the Grant McLennan shrine at FET HQ.
Ahem. I will leave off here.

Glad you liked it!
About as far from stupid as you can possibly be. Nancy and I sat and watched our video collection, the one that went along with "1978-1990", and I blubbered a few hot tears into my wine to see his baby face bouncing around with "PONY" written on it during "Right Here". Has that been digitized anywhere? They were lovely as lovely can be. Sleep well, my prince.
You'll be looking for this Right Here
If what you don't see in the lines above is a lovely link underlined, I'm sure you can find the address in the html there.
That would be the one.
