Thommo cancels April gig dates

I hear that the scorpion, expecting to be feted by his friends for having stung someone famous, is very disappointed as most of them said, "Richard who?"

That's the price of being one of the best kept secrets in the music world, I guess...

Beekeeper Bob??

The Beekeeper is essentially the webmaster for RT's own site, Beesweb.

So the scorpion sang, all together now...

I'll crawl back (crawl back) under my stone.

Just in from our Mexico correspondent who got the full story from Mr T...

We had a M1 Breakdown and were looking for some Sun Shade. I thought it was The Lobster. My wife said You're Gonna Need My Help or it's the End Of A Holiday. I felt in No Man's Land but thought The Lord is in This Place. I hoped it wasn't lethal as I didn't want to go through an Autopsy but I was feeling a bit Crazy Man Michael. It was time to say Farewell, Farewell to Mexico.

So we Walked Awhile though I was feeling like a Sloth. We found a Doctor of Physick and he cured me with Flowers of the Forest. I thought, enough of this Flatback Caper - Now Be Thankful.

You can chop yourself with the breadknife, have a gardening accident, get bitten by spiders, snakes, a whole ark of beasties, but I don’t think you can go through life worrying about that stuff.

Very true. Our bass player took the end of his thumb off while chopping an onion. Ouch!
