Yeah!!!! or plug in a strat and play a 50minute version of freebird, or my personal favourite, Neil Young's Cortez the killer!

ps: if you want to play C the K properly, drop the first string to D.

Hah! A claim to fame at last ... I once sang one song (Cucumber sandwiches) with the Pink Fairies on the back of a flat-bed lorry outside the Bath Blues Festival in 1970. I said I didn't know the words and they said 'who cares, make 'em up.'

I don't think that 'Twink' ever knew the words either.

The Pink Faries indeed - that takes me back to free concerts on Primrose Hill.....

Seeing the Fairies at the Roundhouse would have been a treat, but given the choice I'd have opted for Hot Tuna's appearance there during their fuzzrock phase. Apparently Jack played TWO bass solos that night, surely enough to test the patience of any stoner!

No need... a bottle of ruff scrumpy and a visit to Limpit's bedroom does exactly the same....

That and giving the cat a pill.

when i went to art school in Canberra many years ago, I had a boyfriend who on one occasion rollerskated around the lake, wearing a pink tutu (while tripping on lsd)

..all this talk of pink fairies on acid brought back the memories!

Back when I was at the ECU School of Art, the last day of the spring semester saw the Annual SOA Shindig and its corresponding Kickball Tournament between the different art departments. The game would be publicized for weeks by all the departments posting hilariously insulting and bragging posters all over the walls of the School of Art. Most notorious was the all-black-wearing. quasi-Satanic Black Goats of Death (the Painting department). To play off their supposed evilness, the Graphic Art department called themselves "The Pink Faeries of Life" and played in the tournamanet while wearing pink tutus and pink balloons on their heads.

Ah, I miss those days.

I love the Pink Fairies! Duncan Sanderson co-wrote City Kids, an early Motorhead b-side (Motorhead on Mudcat, no there's a thing. I might have a go at it tonight at The Blacksmith's Arms.

Twink probably didn't need to know the words because he was the drummer.

I might have known that that madman El Ted and his Hullite crew were involved in this silliness.

And Woodsie, would you go on to Friends Reunited to look up your long lost enemies?

I had the doubtful pleasure of rooming with an acid freak my last year at Ohio University. Every now and again, she'd drop a little of the stuff, and bounce around giggling, and falling over the desk, which I'm not sure she saw.
The desk was steel, four feet high, and five feet wide, hard to miss under normal circumstances.
She also managed to flunk out of O.U. her freshman year, a genuine accomplishment. The school was very forgiving.
There is a species of armadillo called the pink fairy. I don't want to drop acid with armadillos.

Better than dropping armadillos in acid.... they don't like it, but it sounds like it would be a good Turner prize entry....

Pink fairies Luv em... but Edgar Broughton now there's a memory sitting in front of a big log fire with a mug of scrumpy and barley wine whoa what a mix that was @@#***~#@@ definitely whoopeee juice.

What was the album Richard? Was it the one with the track on it that had pictures, photographs as one of its main lines... I loved that track. Unfortunately it wasn't my album I was dossing with a couple of hippies in Bideford at the time and it was theirs. I would love to get a copy of that album.

I remember seeing Pink Fairies at 'Brickhouse' in Hull just before Hitler bombed the building. Do they still have two drummers?
