A rarely seen £20 note. Living the Good Life :o) “This goes out over my dead body,” Chrissie Hynde told producer Chris Thomas in the fall of 1979.

This video shows the utterly impeccable joining of two voices and talents. Though no longer a pair, these two will always be remembered for their UNFORGETTABLE contribution to music. In MY Opinion :o) Lindsey wrote this song. It’s about being hurt too many times to ever stay there. NEVER Going Back Again.

This is the first book and the first programme. “The Dead of Jericho” is the first instalment of the Inspector Morse TV series starring John Thaw and Kevin Whately (as Detective Sergeant Lewis). Colin Dexter also […]
