SO the original 'rockstar' soccer player dies. Amidst it all I can't get the actual image of Wedding Present's classic 'Geroge Best ' album with the bloke on the cover. Made even more siginificant as it was the most blokey statement made by what could pass as the 'feyest' ('gayest') of indie music the C86 movement! Still George Best was a classic indie C86 album, way rawer tougher and 'rockier' that the other indie kings of the the time the Smiths, and in some way prolly more seminal with there sound still heard in today in acts like the Strokes (though no-one else would admit to it!) and indirectly the whole laddish-nationalist Brit-Pop thing.
It stands (for me) as the Weddoes equal finest 40 minutes up there with Sea Monsters.
But it only took the passing of the real George Best to remind me!
