His Brother

Macs Brother told him about Hitler throwing a wobbler and chewing the carpet. Hitler had this meeting with all these Heads of State and he’d had to make a compromise on his position, which he wasn’t happy about. He was so cheesed off that he had a fit and started chewing the carpet.

‘I’ve been up to Villiers Terrace/I’ve been in a daze for days/I drank some of the medicine/ And I didn’t like the taste’. slightly from Dylan. Subterranean Homesick Blues

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alleyway
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coonskin cap, in the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills but you only got ten

The other members were Andy Eastwood, Stephen 'Johnno' Johnson, Mike Mooney, Tim Whittaker. Island later insisted on a name change to Balcony Dogs prior to the release of their 'Trip' album. By the time the album was released, the line-up was Stephen Johnson, Mooney, Eastwood, Carl Washington and Gary Dwyer. Pete later formed the Divine Thunderbolt Corps along with a changing line-up including Pete's girlfriend Johnson, Andy Eastwood, Mike Mooney, Tim Whittaker, Jake Brockman, Frank DeFreitas and Kate Milner.

Did he get any flack for that? Or did nobody at the Daily Mail notice? Also - any recordings of that? I did flick through copeys book yesterday knowing he'd said something about this, which he had, but for course he only really goes into details about himself.

And if anyone doubts me heres a quote,

Pete came round with bagfulls of drugs, with some other blokes who I'd later form a band with and give them silly names, Pete did stuff and we took all his drugs, I mean her took some himself but he was busy being pissed off with Mac, we sympathised and had more of his drugs to prove it.....
