Smash it up:  the end of this OGWT selection is pretty much how the evening at Eric's ended.  Long after the Damned had finished Rat Scabies came back to the stage waving the Captain's bass guitar.  He proceeded to smash it up.  I went home with a bit of the guitar.

well Shoestring, this is fun!

And next on Mr & Mrs, Toyah Wilcox and her husband Robert.
