CSM says he still doesn't like Honaloochie Boogie but he loves the rest, especially Memphis, Stone, Golden Age and most of the album tracks. And Dudes, of course. He was disappointed they didn't play When My Mind's Gone.Madam Miaowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-6350600940458290792009-10-07T13:00:10.111+01:002009-10-07T13:00:10.111+01:00Funny you should mention dear old Charles Shaar Mu...Funny you should mention dear old Charles Shaar Murray in the context of Mott.<br>Back in 72 he gave Honaloochie Boogie a crap review in NME and as the world's most ardent Mott fan, I wrote 'I hate CSM' on my white Adidas training bag and left it lying ostentatiously around school for a few days (as if anyone would have known what the heck I was going on about...)<br><br>They were just great on Monday and it was just like being transported back to 73 when the safety curtain was lowered by the management in an attempt to force the band off for curfew reasons, only for a load of fans to storm the stage and hold it up.<br><br>Thanks for posting the review xNick Brodrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11809747850600669483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-89273944083858668692009-10-07T10:02:31.986+01:002009-10-07T10:02:31.986+01:00You're right.
