John Cooper Clarke USA / Canada tour

If anyone's interested in seeing the Bard of Salford - the greatest and possibly only poet* to come out of punk - JCC is touring in May.

Warning: his accent can be a little, er, impenetrable.

EDIT: OK, there was Patti Smith as well, who is also pretty good.

In a fit of cybernetic rage
She pissed off to another age
She lives in nineteen ninety-nine
With her new boyfriend, a blob of slime

Funny how 1999 still somehow seems futuristic to me.

JCC will also be supporting Squeeze on their UK tour in the autumn, so I finally have a reason to go to Ipswich.
