The Saturday Boy Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Hi all, in December I'll be seeing Billy for the 50th time since 1984. I want to get a BB themed tattoo to mark the occasion but stumped for ideas. I don't want song titles as my favourites change - albeit with a few permanent top 10 tracks. Anyone got any ideas what I could have?? Cheers Andrew, The Saturday Boy! I've already got 9 tattoos so quite used to them!

City Rocker Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Now that would have been a hell of a gig to be at! Sadly I wasn't, but did see BB open for the Clash at the Colston Hall, must have been 83 or 84? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Like @Lanterne Rouge , my first thought was Spy Vs Spy. Maybe with added lyrics ? I was a fan of Spy Vs Spy from Mad magazine before I got the Album, so this is the imagery I see when it's mentioned.

I think so, not seen it for years and I think it did stop for a while. I have to look now. EDIT Looks like I was wrong , just moved online instead of in shops. Still going today and Alfred E Neuman has hardley changed at all . https://www.madmagazine.com/ Edited April 7, 2023 by 1960maaan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what did he do after the Redskins? not a lot, moved to Paris, attempted a couple of failed bands - P-Mod and also The Crystallittes, started to write a book, but suffered MH issues and retreated to York. He keeps a low profile these days. Martin Hewes bassist from the Redskins has done a bit of publicity off the back of the re-issue of Neither Washington Nor Moscow and had a bit of a go at Chris. which is sad to see, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
