A Gal Needing Direction
[This is really just an amusing "nugget", with a passing Mac reference, but I don't think we had a nugget topic for Chris, so I gave it its own thread]
From Geoff's blog, discussing songs about places. He's in Herts http://www.blogger.com/profile/10966328708258079467 Mark Knopfler apparently wrote the song after watching a girl cross Shaftesbury Avenue –by such trivial moments can the inspiration for a song come. I may well have been such a catalyst myself. I once had a conversation with Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. It was in Reading and went something like this: Christine McVie (leaning out of a van window):’Excuse me, could you tell us how to get to the university’ Me: ‘Yes. Keep going straight on to the next set of traffic lights, turn right, go for about a mile and you’ll see it on your left’ Christine McVie: ‘Oh, thanks very much. Me: ‘Don’t mention it’. I expect that when Christine McVie later sat down and wrote You Make Loving Fun and Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow for Fleetwood Mac, this incident probably popped into her mind as a creative prompt. |
