[rayrayray63]

He would put down words on a page that could cut through all the crap.

He was,, part poet, part sage, part rascal, and full time Genius.

He said once "I Want To Be Straight",, Maybe now he can be....

RIP...

[teetomthomas]

errrr.... Where's Chaz Jankel?

[neworleansusan]

Damned awesome! Wish I could have seen him live, but he is alive in this video! Thank you who ever you are for posting it.

[MsChichi54]

I had the good fortune to see and meet Ian and the Blockheads when they played San Francisco to support the release of the album. I had loved the record but was blown away by the live shows. Ian was kind, hysterically funny, and a wonderful story teller. He is missed in this world.

[kirstykarnage]

best man wot can i say

[sunboy1000]

What a waste....RIP Ian

[rhykko77]

I just found Dury on YouTube last week.....sorry he is gone, seemed like a really great talent.....and a real entertainer

[Diggerphil]

Awesome! RIP Ian (death, "what a Waste")

[Squab1972]

RIP Ian Dury 

[jonmcculloch]

I remember seeing this on Magpie, the kids' TV programme back in the late 70's. I was hooked. Still got the 1st edition vinyls.

[Mountain117]

waste :DDD fat ppl = waste

[uberpedant]

@Mountain117 stupidest, most irrelevent thing I read today.

[Mountain117]

@uberpedant are you fat? :D

[Gazzthemightyarseole]

why are all the amps facing backwards ?? did mr dury hate commercial shit that much

[richievegas01]

Fitting for nowadays, people with tons of potential thrown on the scrapheap cos of a knackered economy due to banker/wanker's greed. Rarely was Mr Drury's lyrical prowess sharper. Still relevant.

[addioalre]

grande Mr. Ian ovunque tu sia!

[MrBasso69]

as always a great bassline by Norman.

[sallyos06460]

Im so glad I found this. Been looking for ever. Awesome.

[ututura]

the real "waste" are the fucking radios and the pseudo-DJs.

Ian is a "big profit" comparing to this suckers!

[POPUPNIGHTMARE]

Continuing constant Genius

[snodds88]

Best song Ever... RIP Ian dude...

[iamthefatstig]

I can alwasy remember my dad playing the new boots album whenever my straight laced auntie visited. Pure class.

[fishkettlebanana]

I could be an inmate in a long term hinstitution

farkin brilliant

hughs tar

[manweller1]

Pure class

[addioalre]

genio assoluto.

[63punkaddict]

'chose to play the fool in a six piece band'- genius. you were the man ian, RIP geezer.

[64Born]

Norm pulls it out the bag once again for this piece of music history. Ian had such a way with words - cleverly conveying his unique perspective on a world in which he'd had to fight his way through - all odds stacked against - but choosing to not be 'a victim'. Ian, you're a hero to so many out there - inspriational.

[MOONST0MP]

This is without a doubt the best Ian Dury track.

[xesionprince]

Back in these days, the poison of political correctness was still in its infancy!

[barkingbasher]

@xesionprince

Too true.

[xesionprince]

Genius



[donnyab]

shite sound

[happyenjoytime]

Classic fanspastic!!

[sunderlandgent]

Remember this from 1978....someone in our class had written IAN DURY in chalk on the blackboard.The woman teacher walked in to begin the lesson who was a rather old fashioned ,frumpy type obviously not in touch with the music scene of the time looked at the blackboard then turned to us all and demanded to know who in the class was Ian Dury wanting him to put his hand up.The class just fell about laughing as she looked at us all with a puzzled look.....LOL.

[SGmania1216]

@sunderlandgent That's awesome.

[hotestspur]

@sunderlandgent You should have all stood up and said, "I'm Spasticus!"

[CFMEUVIC]

I could be the ticket man at fulham broadway station 

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[bananasplitsable]

[MickeyLove01]

[2sigs]

[needtashow]

saw em only once. Ian Dury & Blockheads w/ Lou Reed at Tower Theater ,Philadelphia 1978(?) - incredible

[me1onhead]

@needtashow I once read that Lou Reed stated that Ian Dury couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but was an incredible act despite this!

[mojo60s]

Personal favourite Dury track....BRILLIANT.

The Blockheads sound ace as well.

[choicesman2000]

[5Rebec]

Asktunes - what do you mean " it isn't him" - of course it bloody well is! Brilliant musician and band - love their music..

[asktunes]

this video's a gem! & I know it isn't him, but how about that Robbie Robertson look-alike on guitar?!

[marjoriem2]

@asktunes It's John Turnbull on guitar. Never thought about it but he does have a certain resemblance to Robbie here...

[theraven1563]

one of the best dury  tracks ever.
