http://www.channel4.com/music/ontv/T/tonyblair.htmlLast night on Channel 4 there was a programme looking back at our current Prime Minister’s “rock star” pretensions back when he was 19. It was one of those documentaries featuring interviews with those who knew him at the time, interspersed with dramatised segments featuring actors.
At one point we were told how Blair was trying to write a song, playing his guitar, when the neck fell off. (In the dramatic sequence we see the actor wrestling with a Telecaster in pieces, and trying to fit the neck back into the neck pocket).
How on earth was that supposed to have happened? If Tone really played a Telecaster, then perhaps some joker had removed the bolts, but how could he not have noticed? It’s kinda worrying that our Prime Minister in waiting could have overlooked this.
Meanwhile, here’s a webpage devoted to Tony Blair’s Rickenbacker collection: http://rickbeat.com/gallery/tonyblair/tonyblair.htm. It can’t be the same guy, surely?
