Out early this morning I saw one of those 'odd' individuals that you seem to get in every town and city in the UK. Most places have them: weird clothing, look a bit like down and outs. The men always seem to have shaggy hair and beards and they have that wild-eyed Charlie Manson-look about them. You see them in the town centre, craving attention. Either playing an acoustic guitar (badly) and singing lame John Denver songs (also badly). Not like your average busker who does have a bit of talent, these people are mostly frustrated extroverts, attention-seeking individuals with a history of mental issues which prevents them from working
.
Mostly people ignore them and pretend they haven't seen them.
And that is exactly how I see many of them on rawk. They come across as strange, slightly sinister people who you'd really rather not associate with: they're all swivel-eyed Rik Mayall lookalikes, and you sense all is not well in the bonce department, and that things could turn unpleasant if you make eye contact with them.
Precisely how I felt this morning in the presence of this seemingly unhinged man, wearing 70's-style bellbottoms and one of David Bellamy's old beards (him, not me!).
