Guardian journalist must be a Rats fan...

Definitely the first time I have seen a track off mondo bongo quoted in a national paper.  Paul Rees, i salute you!

The Cardiff Blues chairman, Peter Thomas, this week said that the regions had no confidence in Lewis. He stopped short of invoking one of Geldof's songs for the Boomtown Rats, Go Man Go, which contains the words "these are troubled times", but he claimed that the group chief executive wanted to destroy the four and then take complete control of regional rugby. The two sides are expected to resume negotiations next week on a binding participation agreement, and while Thomas's remarks suggest personal differences are the biggest single impediment to a resolution, a deep philosophical divide is more germane.

Lewis was the Head Of Radio One and spent 2 weeks at Geldof's house, in the eighties. Not sure if Bob plied him with free drinks for all that time ,and 'pleaded' with him to play lots of Geldof tracks. If he did then it doesn't seem to have worked!

On the Danny Baker show on 5 LIVE on Saturday morning one of the rambling topics Danny got around to was the subject of sleepwalking. A guy rang in and told a story about how, years ago, he knew a  kid who, whilst sleepwalking,  got out of bed and proceeded to head downtown wearing pyjames, I think eventually ending up in a cinema. 

Danny, in his usual style added in all sorts of conjectures,and asked the caller at one stage :'Who was this kid, was he a member of the Boomtown Rats or something?'

Interesting that one of the first associations with pyjamas for Danny Baker was The Boomtown Rats.smile
