COULD
YOU BE
LOOKING AT LONDON'S
WORST NIGHTMAYOR ? |
|

Having
just climbed every mountain Griff Rhys Jones, looking
somewhat less than impressed at encountering these
rough old rock faces

Splitting
Hairs |

As
Londoner's consider life beyond our Ken, we have
learned of an intriguing scenario that is being
mooted on the Capital's streets. It has been suggested
that a similarity exists between London Mayor Boris
Johnson and Rollin Stoned's guitarist Byron Jones
and the fact that at no time have they ever been
seen together in the same place is more than mere
coincidence.
To the febrile
minded who are our bastions against the great conspiracies
that threaten our daily lives, the evidence clearly
stacks up to a hill of beans, but are they just
fermenting hot air?
Of course the two share common initials
and as anyone who reads detective fiction well knows,
people who adopt an alias invariably use their owns
initials (not to mention that Boris Johnson
is an anagram of 'Rob Johnson Is', possibly an allusion
to being the reincarnation of the great blues legend.
Ed) (Thanks for that Ed).
Then there's the distinctive matching
golden 'barnets', even if Boris does look like he's
wearing Byron's hair inside out. Add to that you
have the birds and the booze, a tendency to get
in over their heads, not being very popular in Liverpool
and of course both heavily influenced by the Blues.
It is true that Byron has a well earned reputation
as a dapper dandy whereas Boris would not look out
of place in the pages of the Dandy, but then if
you were having to dash in and out of telephone
kiosks in order to perform quick change costumes
at the drop of a crisis on the streets of London,
you might look a tad less than well shevelled. (Posted

Members
of The Rollin Stoned (pictured above) hitting the
bar with a suitably bemused Griff Rhys Jones at
the Drill Hall in London's West End prior to filming
of "The Big Question" a pilot for a new
Channel 5 panel show
Intended as
a cross between The Oxford debating society and
a pub brawl, the show aims to finally establish
answers to some of life's eternal verities, ones
that have been eluding the greatest minds from Socrates
and Descartes to Jade Goody.
A celebrity
panel of Journalists and Comedians including columnist
Rod Liddle were invited to opine on assorted topics
including discussions on the relative merits of
Cats against Dogs, Curry versus Chinese and Quilts
over Duvets.
The Rollin
Stoned, had been invited to attend as guest members
of the audience to act as expert advocates on the
vexed issue as to who was the greatest out of the
Beatles and The Stones.
If
you don't wish to know the result then look away
now... but for those who do and don't have the patience
to see if the series gets commissioned, well, let's
just say if you like chasing sticks, prefer your
Winalot in Chicken Vindaloo flavour and can't get
no Satisfaction without wagging your tail, then
, with out giving too much away, you'd probably
get the panel's vote.

Rollin Stoned
come up With a
Dep for Cap'n Jack
for Charity Premier
at Worlds End
|
Well
all Wright Mathew ....
.... and thank you kindly
Radio
2 presenter's tribute act  |
 |
As
listeners to BBC Radio 2 on Friday, Jan 4th, would
know, the singeing sensation Byron Jones may have
been experiencing in his ears would not, for once,
be the fault of the thermostat on his wig permer.
Rather, he had become a hot topic of conversation
on that evenings edition of Mathew Wright's ''Weekender"
programme .
During
the broadcast Mathew recounted having been at a
party held in honour of Seth Lakeman's father in
2007 and had seen a band called The Rollin Stoned
(shucks does he mean Us? Ed) he went to say how
much he enjoyed the show, in particular, the celestial
re-incarnation of Brian Jones, it was, he said "..the
highlight of my life" (This remark did
lead Bill Wymandy to ponder "what must his
lowlights have been like" but the that's Bill
for you, a carbuncle on the face of misery).
This
generous endorsement could easily have escaped our
attention entirely - obviously living in the 60's,
we can only tune in to the Light Programme and on
occasion, if the atmospherics are right, Radio Luxembourg,
- were it not for a tip off from a friend of the
band, Tim Ewbank , to whom we are much indebted.
His journalists antennae for relevant material has
no doubt been well developed in compiling facts
for his many excellent celebrity biographies.
As
we kick off a New Year and the dishing out season
for honours and gongs, it seems somehow appropriate
for the band to receive this modest token of recognition
and it will serve us fine until Her Majesty decide
to pull her finger out on our behalf. (Posted

A
charity premier screening of the latest in "Pirates
of the Caribean" series was in need of a pirate
copy celeb to make the red carpet entrance, or plank
in this case
So
who better to answer their cry for help and climb
on board than the The Rollin Stoned's very own timber
shivering, ringed eared, rum snorting powder monkey,
Keith Retched. Pictured here in danger of loosing
his head to some rather shapely shipmates. (Posted

'THE
TIMES' ON OUR SIDE
|
The
odd mangled gear change apart, faultless was the
verdict of Times rock reviewer David Sinclair ".........
the period detail of the musical equipment; the
overall sound, particularly of the older numbers,
was probably more authentic than the
Stones themselves would be inclined to muster at
this stage" -

'A
BIGGER BANG' On His Head
Retched's
Medical Bulletin latest,"He's
not out of the woods yet but is definitely out
of his tree"...... Chief surgeon confirms
as 'Gibbon's Decline Fall' once again threatens
to disrupt a Rollin'Stoned tour after the 'Gibbon'
in question, aka Keith Retched, came to grief
while succeeding in demonstrating to a sceptical
fellow band member that climbing a Coconut palm
was as easy as falling off a log.

A
contrite Mr Keith Retched of the Rollin Stoned
was counting the cost of his cavalier flouting
of the recently introduced ban on smoking in
public. You're never alone with a 'Strand',
particularly when there are eagle eyed smoking
wardens around. At a recent show he was clocked
enjoying a crafty 'Condor' moment on stage and
issued with a fixed penalty fine on the spot.
"we could always turn a blind eye when
it's was only the heroin, crack cocaine and
LSD" said a local authority spokesman,
"but this time he's really blown it".
