OK – frankly I was disappointed. These ladies are certainly growing old very disgracefully. Quite a few laughs but even more squirms at the language and content. Prefer to remember them like they were … very sad.

We’re going to see them live at the Liverpool Phil soon … it’ll be our third Sweet FA treat.
They are marvellous if a bit too risqué at times … and they are unique – just like Jake was.
I guess that’s what makes their concerts so infectious … and there is no cure!
(PS For offbeat musical treats we can also recommend the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.)

As it’s close to Remembrance Sunday I thought i’d revisit this topic.
Was asked to do a pp presentation on WW1 propaganda as seen on
cigarette cards (!) so I might be using Jake’s song as an intro. Still
one of the most powerful anti-war songs I know.
