Yes, there is nothing, absolutely nothing like a KOOL recap. We fool heartedly agree. It has gone to our heads, and over.

And this is why from now on we will be providing the comments section of "Today in Line Out" with a very dishonourable collumn that we will call

Indeed, there is Much more to life than Line Out and what their writers pass off as "journalism."

We're so excited about it, that we're starting a day early.

1974 The 101'ers make their debut at the Telegraph in Brixton, a not-so-charming part of South London. The R&B/boogie band got together in May when Joe Strummer returned from a brief stay in Wales where he fronted a band called The Vultures. The 101'ers take their name from their squat at 101 Walterton Road near Kilburn and Paddington. The group is "Mole" on bass, "Evil" Clive Timperley on lead guitar and vocals, Richard "Snakehips" Dudansky on drums and vocals, "Big John" Cassell on alto sax, Alvero Pena on tenor sax, Jules on harmonica, and future Clash vocalist Joe "Woody" Strummer on rhythm guitar and vocals.

We are stealing the writings of one of the key writers who documented the pissed off scene back then, and make no apologies for the lack of frilly adjectives and first-person accounts. If you think you know about rock writing, then you will be familiar with these legendary observations, and we excuse you. We believe in the necessity of focusing on just the facts, ma'am.
