This week combines two of my favourite tropes: "I was today years old when I found out x" and "outdated cultural reference".
At the weekend I wasn't able to go to a racing circuit because my car's engine is currently in bits at the engine builders. However I still went about the rest of my itinerary in the midlands. I went drinking with a couple of lads that I've known for over 40 years. As often happens we ended up back at home drunkenly over-appreciating music. This time it was done on youtube, painfully typing into the search box using the arrow keys on the tv remote.
In 1990 The Happy Mondays released "Step On" as a single.
I was today years old when I found out it was a cover version.
And let us also never say another word about how come the woman in Ghostbusters looks a lot like Ripley in Alien.
