For me, Waterloo Sunset is the definitive London song, it brings tears to my eyes with every listen.

Just watched the documentary, absolutely fantastic. Ray Davies is one of the greatest lyricists, and easily the most under-rated, this country has ever seen.

It was excellent, and quite sad really.
Also, Ray is on BBC Radio 2 at 1200 on Thursday 30th. Interestingly, he's also with Dave, so it'll be very tense listening. ![]() Sounds intriguing if Dave's with him on an interview. Maybe they will work together once more. I missed the programme about Ray as for some reason I thought it was on later this week. Anyway for me and anyone else that missed it, or those who want to see it again, it's now on BBC iPlayer until Tuesday 28th December 2010 (11:54pm) ![]() http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...Imaginary_Man/ |

Dead End Street.... wot a classic
" I wrote that when I was 22... " said Ray !!! wot a talent ! but a very introspective guy... lots of talk of the 60s .. and yet I dont think the Beatles get a single mention ! |

Just watched Imagine programme off tape (low budget me!), a wonderful way to spend 80 mins odd, had it gone on twice as long I'd not have got bored as it had only really covered the "hey-day" era in anydepth song wise. He didn't stop writing great tunes in 1970.

Aww Happy Birthday to Mr Davies
He's such a gifted songwriter, and so humorous too. Plastic Man still makes me giggle ever time I hear it and I've been listening to it for a few years now!

![]() Happy Birthday Ray! He's probably still blowing out his candles, tee hee! However, it's almost a year since the passing of Pete Quaife. Wonder what Ray got for his birthday? Maybe he got a book from Dave called 'Brotherly Love'?

He feels a dedicated follower of fashion"♫ amusing. It's the frilly nylon panties - makes me laugh.

I'd heard that when that song was out it was banned because of a naughty word. *Whispers naughty word to poppyblue* "Bum". Shocking isn't it?

Well, I never! Can't say I'd ever made out that word before. Shocking, he'll never get anywhere using language like that!

The BBC live version of Scattered is really good in my opinion.
In other news, the Kinks now have a VEVO on YouTube, and one of the videos is up in pretty good quality... Scatted ![]() ![]() Interestingly, theres a scarecrow with an anonymous mask |
