Today I am overworked, exploited, verging on obsessive, and with no time to write, pontificate, comment, or even send emails. Fortunately Syd sent me this quite extraordinary picture of the crew back in the day. L to R you have Boss Goodman, Paul Rudolph, Sandy, your’s truly (OMG the fucking hair!), Ace Mandelkau, Russell Hunter, and, needless to say, Twink. You notice a sign in the background that reads saloon bar. Clearly we are either entering or exiting the Portobello pub know as Finches.

Great pic! and a lovely evocation of a London that is long gone, with only a few tiny remnants that haven't been assimilated into branches of Starbucks or Paperchase.
It makes me think of the relative innocence of the 'bad future' high street in It's A Wonderful Life.
Ow. Too much synchronicity for one day. Gonna have to lie down. Read this: http://www.terrascope.co.uk/Features/LadbrokeGrove.htm immediately before taking a look at your blog.
A great photo! I'd like that one framed and on my wall.
What's the latest on Boss? And the Fairies and Twink? All seems to be quiet at the moment.
Not exactly related Mick, but if you haven't seen this Telegraph piece on flying spy drones, you probably should...

Brilliant photo, brilliant hair too!
In answer to anonymous, we're all alive, more or less.
These are not people I would like to encounter on a dark night.
This is one for the Archives. It's lovely to see Boss here!
Far-freakin-out!
Finches is still a decent pub with many "interesting" people drinking there I first met George Butler in Finches.
is that finches down fulham rd.?
No, it's Finches on Portobello.
I thought you guys were hippies. You all look kinda...dangerous.
Triskaidekaphobe intervention.
Oh, I get it...the fourteenth post. *smacking forehead*
Basically the Bilbo Baggins of Bloggerization.
And yeah, you guys look pretty effin cool. I guess, by definition, all hippies are dangerous though, right?
This picture gives me a boner. I wish I'd be around back in that day...
