    From a song called "Toiler on the sea" by the Stranglers on their Black and White album.
    ...."The young ones used their hands,
    Pointed their way to a flock,
    A flock of seagulls..."

    Correct. One of the most magnificent moments in their career. That bass guitar on Black and White is savage and is essentially the lead guitar. Not saying he's the best bassist (couldn't care about that) but he was definately one of the most influential and ground breaking.

    I think JJ Burnel's bass on most Stranglers tracks is awesome, you can tell he trained as a classical guitarist.
    Are you a Black or a White side?
    I'm now getting the album out for another listen.

    I love both sides but if pushed the Burnel inspired black side.

    He wrote the music for Toiler.

    Love both sides myself, can't listen to Burnel singing though, even now!!
    Forgot how good the lyrics on Curfew were.
    This will now lead to me getting out all my old vinyl.

    Back to the op's point. He is right. There is no such thing as democracy in this country. Probably doesn't really exist in any country.

    Vinyl - when music was essential.

    You are not wrong there mate.
    Might start a vinyl thread, especially as we're off topic on this one!!

    It'd be a great idea if I knew how to do it.
    Only just learnt how to use a computer and haven't a clue how to use this site.
    Did notice your thread on gigs so might join that.
