I wonder if Joe Meek was a fan of this Hayden Thompson guy. I love the florid melodies of songs like this or "Johnny Remember Me."

I remember reading an article at the height of the Urban Cowboy craze about a visit to Gilley's in Houston, that said the whole place looked like it cost $1.98, tops.

I remember Ann Magnusson going on about Swaggart's performing skill in an interview once. He was a literal bible thumper, I recall that. He would really wave it around.

Bill Bailey also does an uproarious Billy Bragg parody

I love Bill Bailey. And thought he did brilliantly on Strictly Come Dancing. Have never paid attention to that kind of show until he was on it.

Is that the same "Won't you come home, Bill Bailey? Won't you come home?" Bill Bailey?

Well, that song goes back to 1902, so...
