I did not know he was an alcoholic. But then I didn't know he was a Scot either.

All makes sense now...

An alcoholic Scot. One of those words is redundant.

Alas poor Gerry, a musical ledgend beatin by addiction and finally the grave.....whos cryin, whos cryin now.

The fait of death awaits us all my freinds....but there is a hope in Christ Jesus, the only one to beat death....heres some advice from probbably the most disparaged man in history:

Joh 8:49-51 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and ye do dishonor me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily,verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying,he shall never see death.


as for me... I choose life!...and the dancing bananas...:banana::wari: winding thier way down on Baker Street!

Enough of the religious stuff already. There's a thread set up specifically for that stuff, and that's where any continuing palaver in this thread will be deported to if this continues here.

1 Cor15:51-55
Behold, I show you a mystery;We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? :rockon:

.....but its not entierly a free for all, like with any contract ....there is a catch! you MUST be born again..err humm spritiually speaking that is...Acts2.38 repent be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost....plenty have but saddly many fall ...the road that leads to life is narrow and few there be that find it....its up to you, Ive shown you the gate...its your choice?

, Ive shown you the gate...its your choice?

Yep...I wandered through the gate labeled 'Reality this way'

Mr Night Falcon, I see your career on KB will be very shrot. Moderators have extremely short fuses when ignored. Beyond all that though, we have here a bike forum, not a religious one.

Right beside you ........ you have just been too distracted to notice him "yet"! :rolleyes:

[Hitcher]

Come on guys. Apart from one infraction issued, I've been liberal and compassionate. If this god-bothering nonsense continues I will have no option but to do what I threatened earlier.

:lol: After more than 2000 years of piss taking I think Christianity can handle all (and more) of the shit KB can chuck at it!

Point taken though, I guess there is a special thread for it! :yes:

[Corse1]

Wow you guys really know how to get off topic :shutup: I thought in summer time you would have better things to do than talk a load of crap. Seems to be the way a lot of these threads are going :angry:

I was a fan of Baker street after my sister introduced me to Gerry Rafferty's music 30 years ago.

[tigertim20]

sad news, baker st was one of my favourites. RIP

Actually...I used to work with a guy that looked like Jesus. He's cut his hair now and rides with some geezer that does mag tests.

Take a chill pill mate. Some of the best conversations wander all over the place. I wouldn't be in this thread if it wasn't for that the fact that I liked Gerry's music...but that's no reason to not have a lil bit of banter to lighten things up.

Turn that frown upside down.

[MaxB]

I like the story that the main solo on Baker Street was written for lead guitar but the guitarist didn't show up or was double booked. A sax player present in the studio layed down that solo with the instrument he had in the back seat of his car.

That solo made the song I reckon.

RIP Gerry

Baker Street origins taken from Wiki but interesting nonetheless...
"Rafferty wrote the song during a period when he was trying to extricate himself from his Stealers Wheel contracts, and was regularly travelling between his family home near Glasgow and London, where he often stayed at a friend's flat in Baker Street. The resolution of his legal and financial frustrations accounted for the exhilaration of the song's last verse: "When you wake up it's a new morning/ The sun is shining, it's a new morning/ You're going, you're going home."
