Although (from Memorabillia):

Just look at me and it's easy to see why they call me Cindy Ecstasy."

Yeah I think Marky J confused me by starting to talk about E. I thought he was referring to Heston's earlier question about Aids.Kory wrote: ↑03 Sep 2017, 9:16pmFound this, could be what he meant: https://www.google.com/amp/s/witchesbre ... -muse/amp/Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 Sep 2017, 7:27pmWhich song are you referring by Soft Cell.

Carnal sin, not cardinal sin isn't it?
My favourite lines are:
Save the rose reject romance
Mick Jones don't drop his pants
and
Handsome is as handsome does
I did it everywhere
Before the current era, I didn't have a care

Re: Stone Thames
Maybe the 'cocaine and ecstasy' line was actually meant in the same way as I would have heard it as a 16 year-old with little knowledge of drugs. By which I mean a reference to a single drug (cocaine) and associated sexual pleasure (ecstasy).
I wouldn't have thought so. Doesn't really matter, I guess.

Nah, anyone familiar with the New York club scene would have been hip to Ecstasy by then.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑05 Sep 2017, 11:47amMaybe the 'cocaine and ecstasy' line was actually meant in the same way as I would have heard it as a 16 year-old with little knowledge of drugs.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Stone Thames
Kind of related... I've sometimes wondered if Mick's friendship with DJ Paul Oakenfold pre-dated the time of the BAD II tour with U2. Oakenfold would have been UK A&R for Def Jam when The Bottom Line came out on that label?

I guess no-one will know but Teddy B? There was talk of a visit to a Stussy warehouse? But that would definitely have been in the BAD II days...
