A great shame the show was cancelled. Morrissey's old friend #JamesMaker now lives in Valencia. Might have seen an outing for No-one Can Hold A Candle To You, Jimmy's song from Raymonde that #Morrissey covers.
#Morrissey should commune with his young self (far left, black cardy and glasses); so thrilled by the Sex Pistols at the Free Trade Hall - where he was blown off the stage in '86 by #JamesMaker and #Raymonde - transformed by the New York punk of the Dolls, the Stooges, Patti Smith and the Velvets...
#Morrissey actually pretty decent in #SanAntonio last month, a rousing return to form. Second number a clattering #BillyBudd, one of his songs about his diresputable friend #JamesMaker.

There's a powerhouse live rendition of Handsome Devil from The Smiths' gig at The Hacienda that year - their first without #JamesMaker.
John cannot hide his irritation at the preponderance of Manchester bands - The Chameleons make an appearance too.
#Morrissey's go-go dancer the immortal #JamesMaker waltzes over the 16th Street Bridge in ¾ time.

Another lousy Xmas day, making the best of it with a favourite song by my hero #JamesMaker from his Milwaukee Sessions.
There is a genius line;
"They're over the 16th Street Bridge"
which is truly transformative, referencing the Milwaukee civil rights movement.

Another brilliant piece by Jimmy.
The greatest rock star who ever lived has become a superbly thoughtful and insightful writer and journalist.
(P.S. Only #Morrissey is allowed to call him 'Jimmy'!)

The auguries show a glimmer and the algorithm belches up a wonder. #Morrissey paying his tribute to a great artist with his #Raymonde cover. #JamesMaker

#JamesMaker on the awful Peter Wyngarde. There's no fooling Jimmy, who immediately identified Wyngarde as a ‘Dorothy Squires fan club moderator’!

Some wonderful pictures of David here. Only saw him the once - watching from deep midwicket, on the same bill as #Morrissey and #JamesMaker, both of whom he influenced and energized so profoundly.

Jimmy is absolutely killing it on WordPress! I imagine him seated with his parents to watch Penelope Keith, each with their rostrum ashtray - as described by #Morrissey in his Autobiography - ready to plunge them dimps into oblivion. #JamesMaker #Raymonde #RPLA

More thrilling bloggery by #JamesMaker.
Another Jimmy wrote about this self-aggrandizing fantasist and mythomaniac - JG Ballard, who was interned with Cyril at Lunghua. The Japanese were very hard on him, and smashed his feet for misbehaviour.

Another genius blogpost by #JamesMaker.
‘Oh no, I quite like the brown.’
Readers of Morrissey's Autobiography will note that Broughton is where they ended up after being terrorised by Manchester thugs; and that #Morrissey also ghouled Charles Hawtrey's house.
