That'll be something alright. I missed something similar a few years back when Alex Cox made an appearance.
When are they gonna give the landlord the keys to the city? Then again, you read one of his Liverpool based stories and it's the last place you want to be (: |

And SECRET STORIES paints a less than rosy picture of Liverpool's cultural life, though to be fair you get idiots like that in any city.
'Compassion' offers a gentle, nostalgic sense of Liverpool as background. But that's sort of early RC.
Suggested title for an essay on Campbell and Liverpool: 'Dockside of the Moon'. |

There's a film out by Rupert Davies celebrating Liverpool, isn't there? I think I have the name right. Did Long Day Closes. I quite fancy it. |
