Stand And Deliver...

It doesn't get much more fruity than Adam And The Ants...and I know all the cool kids talk about 'Dirk Wheres White Sox', but 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier' is the jam. The b-sides of that era still stand the test of time (Beat My Guest, Fall in). When I was a kid EVERYONE liked him, me and my mate James Thomas got sent to the headmaster for singing the song 'Sex'. Years later, when Adam Ant got into acting he was at my school with the Royal Shakespeare company and we yelled "Adam Ant' at him, and he replied 'it's Stuart Goddard'...whatever mate, always Adam Ant to me. He got fat and went mental and threatened people in the pub with a gun a while back which is a a bummer...but the vids are still there....

Just finished his biog' today which is worth a read - and also The Wolfmen featuring Marco and Chris from The Ants and produced by Merrick (Chris Hughes) are well worth a blast.

You can hear a few tracks and read and interview with Marco on my blog.

Would also recommend checking out 'Who Taught You The Torture' bootlegs - which feature all the orginal versions of the Ants B Sides. (you can find them via blog search)
