    Here's a very entertaining clip of Ian and the Blockheads with the anarchic Wilko Johnson in the line up.

    His guitar solo is just grand theatre.

  2. CW: Cancer, death approaching

    youtube.com/watch?v=zLLPsGoBtF

    I used to scream cacophonically and loudly to #DrFeelgood's *Private Practice* and *Stupidity* while jumping up and down in my underwear as a pre-teen.

    The band went on without Lee and Wilko, and I'm sure they continued to create fun pub-rock sort of #music, but Wilko was the THING about them that made them so attractive to me.

    This film is SPECTACULARLY filmed and edited, and #WilkoJohnson is this epic, in the Classic sense, presence.

    This is a film about #death and #cancer and #dying, and about knowing you have a very limited amount of time left.
    #WarrenZevon advised that we all "enjoy every sandwich" - this is not exactly about that.

    It is about what it - well, about what it FEELS like, from the point of view of an extraordinarily perceptive, sensitive, and articulate person.

  9. Wilko Johnson died aged 75 on 21 November 2022.

    The late musician spoke to Kate Mossman in 2015 about embracing terminal illness, being kicked out of Dr Feelgood and the “soap opera” of his life.

  10. #WilkoJohnson A sad week. As a 14-year old in 1975, Down by the Jetty was the first album I bought and Dr Feelgood were the second band I saw live. So much great material online showcasing his music as well as his personal wit and charm. A life well lived. This YouTube still gives me the same excitement as when I saw them earlier that same year youtu.be/GzF0AETdRF8

  11. So sorry to hear about the death of Wilko Johnson on November 21st, 2022. He was 75.

    Today's soundtrack: The mighty Dr. Feelgood, the mighty Blockheads, the WJ Band, and all of his collaborations, including his album with Roger Daltrey.

  12. Ah so sad to hear about #WilkoJohnson. He seemed like such a great bloke, and somehow like he’d be here forever.

  13. Sorry to hear of the death of #WilkoJohnson. A friend pointed out this video of an early Dr Feelgood live show. The camera mostly follows Brilleaux, but you get glimpses of Johnson's astonishing guitar technique. And if you don't have time for the full 15 minutes, you can always skip to the end for a great version of "You Shouldn't Call the Doctor (If You Can't Afford the Bill)".
