And you've done justice to the sentiments.(loved reading your adventure!) I was embarrassingly one of the three who went up on stage at the Rats and did 'the Rat!?' as Bob Geldof had borrowed my tie for the gig!? The bonus to that l got back stage to retrieve it and got a photo signed by them all...but quickly became disillusioned with them & gave me cousin, the bonus was as l walked out passing a long queue of awaiting female fans and swiped a 4pack of lager! Then after the Clash I thought I'd be able to get back stage again, only to get my head kicked in by the bouncers! One lad said they were kicking me around the floor like a football...I was in the same boat as to getting home , but two lads picked me up & took me to the train station where we jumped the gates and caught the midnight special. Unfortunately they got caught...But great memories to us 60year olds OMG! A lot of us are still Punk in heart & mind. All the best, sorry you can't attend gigs my last before Covid was Jah Wobble at the Rescue Rooms, Feb'2020 (still brilliant!) then back with Nick Cave last Sept'8th Concert Hall, but weary of venues as l've still got long Covid, a year on...nothings gonna be the same!??
