Tuesday's theme...
Debbie Harry is 63 today. A day of mixed emotions. I hope that Debbie has a lovely birthday but it feels wrong that someone that all the lads in my class fancied could be a 'wumman in her sixties'. Debbie Harry should have been frozen in time around the Sunday Girl era and never been allowed to get old - although obviously if this involves a visit to Dolly Parton's face doctor then forget it.
Anyway, her birthday fits in with Tuesday's theme of great front men/women suggested by Neil Martin. From Mick Jagger to Morrissey, let's have your suggestions.

I was living in London when the whole Britpop thing exploded and it always makes me smile when I hear a Pulp song as it reminds me of great drunken nights attempting Jarvis dancing or Blur pogo jumping. It really was a fantastic time to be living there and I loved every minute of being in the midst of all that Blur/Pulp/Oasis hype. With this in mind can you play " Do You Remember The First Time" - Thanks Bryan, Maria in Stirling.
