I can't remember which tour it was on, if it was the Talking To The Taxman About Poetry or The Workers Playtime one , I have a suspicion it was the former, but I have never forgotten the words that Billy Bragg used prior to launching into the sheer heartache that is Levi Stubbs Tears, well I have forgotten the actual words but this is the jist of it, no matter how hard things get, get the kettle, make a brew, put on a Four Tops record and all will be fine with the world again.

At the risk of repeating myself, I saw The Four Tops live at Edinburgh Playhouse on their Loco In Acapulco tour (sometime late 1980's/early 1990's and they had the entire place dancing with hit after hit after hit. The vocals were joyous - one of the best gigs ever. Like you and Billy Bragg say - put on a Four Tops record and all will be fine with the world again.
Billy knows his stuff.
The Four Tops will be played today. Thanks for the nudge, Drew.
