More windy winebagging from this dreary Roxy mob. I brought lime green Lycra suits & deelyboppers & got them to go through “Flashdance” & Hot Chocolate’s “Girl Crazy” while doing the Jane Fonda/Mad Lizzie moves. New post-industrial economy sprightly exercising; reconstitution of man’s relationship with nature, abandon the spent cities & smell the rustling trees. Bryan drew the line at doing Black Lace’s “El Vino Collapso” even tho’ he was perfectly happy to do it with Patrick Cargill & Roy Castle on Eighties Record Breakers back when he had better things to do than tie one set of door knockers to the next one. Advanced osteoarthritis is no excuse. Raymond Burr did alright. In the evening, to Jon Hassell’s sprawling house in Arkley. Impossibly opulent & exotic looking – every room is like a film set! It was good to see my chums Roger Whittaker, Faith Brown, Alan Skidmore, Wayne Dobson, Peter Greenaway, Suzanne Danielle, Graham Stark, Linda Lusardi & Max Eastley I must say. Roger agreed that lycra Roxy was economically sound. To bed at 4 A.M. Too tired for traditional, even though Leee John inevitably sprang to both mind and undertow.
