Starting tonight with Kevin Rowland's finest moment, the words to "There There My Dear". I know he's now sharing the credit for much of Dexy's greatness with other members of the band - Kevin Archer in particular, who was advised that he should change his name to Al, as there wasn't room for two Kevins in Dexys - but the words of both "There There...." Ìýand "Dance Stance" raise the bar for former punk rockers everywhere.Ìý Also tonight, the Au Pairs, whose singer Lesley Woods knew Dexys from her time in Birmingham. There's a great where he talks about a conversation he had with Lesley, after a ring was stolen at a party they were both at. Apparently the early Dexys were seen by the other bands in Birmingham as a gang - a slightly scary gang - which is the effect most great bands would like toÌýcreate.ÌýÌýEnding tonight with the long version of Waiting For My Man - or is it Waiting for The Man ? - recorded live in Dallas in 1969. The song is long, but there's a minute of Lou Reed talking to the audience , asking if they'd like two short sets or one long set. I don't mind Lou, whatever works for you.
