    He'll likely be pretty sh*t anyway.

    Neil Young? I agree, he hugely exceeded my expectations.
    Well you certainly got that prediction wrong. By a long way. Still, I'm sure all your other comments are spot on.

    I wasn't aware he's racist?
    The Farage thing I could almost overlook.

    The Enoch Powell support from his heyday is more problematic.

    Kneecap's set has been heavily edited for iplayer.
    Not from what i saw of the original stream, they showed every bit of it all on iplayer. Excellent set and you see him say ‘for the avoidance of any doubt im NOT calling for a riot at the Mo’s court case’, a clarification which the MSM neglected to mention he made. Nothing they said was really that controversial. Unless you really like Keir or Rod Stewart that is.

    I'm afraid I struggled to hear what they were saying. Needs subtitles for us old folks.

    Racist? His misguided support for Farage dies him no favours but I think you would struggle to make the case for him being racist.
    I fell out with an old friend in Facebook because of his support for reform. Played the racist by association card. The next week he put up his wedding pictures, his West African wife looked stunning. Lesson learned.
    Your old friend may well have remained racist despite finding black women attractive and wanting one for a wife. The two things aren’t mutually exclusive.

    Eric Clapton says hold my pint. Elvis Costello throws his hat in the ring. People say dumb things sometimes that they live to regret. Knowing more than three chords doesn’t make you any less stupid.

    It was a sort of joke but he backed Powell back in 1971 so I doubt that side of him has ever gone away.

    Anyway his singing is pitiful, I'm away for a walk with the dog 😁

    When I worked with him his best mate was a black Glaswegian. They were inseparable. Well up until the point they decided to join the French Foreign Legion and only one of them made it as far as basic training.
    Anyway back to Rod the Mod. He needs to get Ron Wood on soon to save this.

    Bizarrely with Rod this is about the best he has sounded and it's probably the hardest song to sing and the one that's least forgiving (thus far).

    Edit: The heeeyyyyyy babuuuuuuuu at the end was painful right enough.

    I was enjoying hearing about your Farage-loving non racist mate with the cojoined twin black Glaswegian foreign legionnaire other best mate, but another time maybe

    Not at all! There was a short-lived soft rock band in the 90s called the Quireboys, they sounded more like Rod Stewart than Rod Stewart does himself. An odd direction for a band to take.

    Has he just given up and handed over to the backing singers now? She's a fine chanter btw.

    The audience are way way more in tune than Rod. He did a good version of I'd Rather Go Blind mind you.

    Christ here's Mick Hucknell.

    Because he backed Powell more than half a century ago those views are somehow hard-wired into him for life? Plenty of people change as they get older.

    Mick Hucknall sounding more like the David Brent version of Mick Hucknall than Gervais ever managed.

    Reminds me of one of the great pub debates of my youth. Would you rather batter fat Mick Hucknall or dreadlocked Mick Hucknall.

    He was a poser communist while it was trendy in the mid 60s. Supported Powell, Thatcher, Boris Johnson and now Farage.

    Some people can change over time. Rod, a disgrace to his father's memory btw, apparently isn't one of them.
