Pete Cummins on FB:
“Absolutely stunning Bob Dylan gig at the 02 tonight. First night of the tour and everyone in the band seemed full of energy and ready to rock especially Bob who sang better than I ever heard and played fantastic harmonica. An unbelievable version on Desolation Row with the guitars wailing and so much more. This is the best Dylan gig I have ever heard and I’ve seen a few, catch this tour if you can and experience a chubby Bob Dylan at his best”.

Roy Harper talking to editor Allan Jones in ‘Editor’s Letters’ in the current Uncut magazine:

“At the time, BP Fallon was doing my PR. He knew there hadn’t been a diagnosis, but he’d been with me when the doctors asked what I’d recently been up to that might have made me ill, and I told them I’d tried to bring a still-born lamb back to life by cupping my hands around its mouth and blowing into them. I actually never touched the lamb at all, but in Fallon’s version of events I’d ended up in hospital after giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a sheep.

“This was the story that went out to a ludicrous number of newspapers. Suddenly I’m president of The North-East Lancashire Sheep Shaggers Association. For years, it was the only thing people wanted to talk about, how I nearly died after kissing a sheep. I spent years trying to explain what had happened and in the end just gave up and went along with it. I mean, why not?”

The same room: John Lennon shows Sean the studio during the making of Double Fantasy (1980), photography by Bob Gruen (top image) and Sean Lennon mixing Yoko Ono’s next album, photography by BP Fallon.

Now we’re at Sears Sound on West 48th Street in New York. This used to be The Hit Factory and this is the very same room that Sean Lennon’s mum and dad used in the recording of their Double Fantasy album – the last album released by John Lennon during his lifetime.

Sean Lennon is mixing Yoko Ono’s new record that features Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and also RZA from The Wu-Tang Clan. It’s very moving, seeing Sean working here putting his heart into the art he learned from his parents in this very same room.

The album by Yoko will be released on Sean’s Chimera Records. And what does it sound like? It sounds like the end of the world.

As well as having their own bands – BP Fallon & His Bandits and The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger – BP Fallon (vox) and Sean Lennon (vox/guitar/drums) play together in the musical collective Operation Juliet.

BP Fallon cemented his continuing relationship with The Kills when he made a surprise guest appearance at The Kills’ New York show at Terminal 5.

Rock’n'Roll Poet: BP Fallon recites at Terminal 5 NYC by Dana (Distorton) Yavin/Brooklyn Vegan

Walking on stage unannounced just before Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart played their powerful set, BP stilled the delighted audience to perform a spoken word reading that kicked off with part of ‘Fame #9′ and lead into The Viceroy Of Verbal setting out his rock’n'roll credo in ‘I Believe In Elvis Presley’.

It was the most explosive and interactive solo performance by our sonic poet so far, with the capacity 3,200-people audience enthusiastically cheering lines like “I believe in John Lennon” – altered from the more oblique “I believe in Dr Winston” – and, good Lord, “I believe in marijuana”.

Taken by the spirit, our Mr Fallon ended up crouched across the lip of the stage like a cross between Albert Einstein and Gene Vincent. Magic.

BP Fallon and Alison Mosshart met in 2002 at Death Disco in London when he was DJing there with Courtney Love. Since then BP has DJed on Kills dates in America, England and Ireland – but this was the first time he’d given a spoken word performance at a Kills show.

BP’s previous spoken word show in America was with The Greenhornes at New York’s Bowery Ballroom.

With thanks to Jamie & Alison and their vibey team, with particular thanks to Matt Pollock.
