Wyatt also likes Stalinism. His opinion isn't worth shit.
I do like that raincoat Weller was sporting during the Café Bleu period though.

I've been listening to Tusk a lot lately and now I have a theory that, in the title track, Buckingham rips off the ambient interlude bit in Tube Station!

Do you base this on anything more than Stalin Wasn’t Stallin’?
Which could be seen as Tory baiting (or perhaps Maoist baiting) rather than a love song to Uncle Joe.
Wyatt is a bright bloke ... doesn’t forgive a woefully inaccurate lyric though. Stalin stalled, havered and procrastinated - not to mention hiding away in his dacha - before finally pulling his finger out and tackling the Nazis.
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

Openlly anti-revisionist (no use for the Euro commies) and remains a committed Leninst-Marxist.
