Jim Jones Revue gives good Psychedelic Little Richard
I walked over to Jim Jones, thinking that I had recognized him, and asked “Are you Richard Ashcroft of The Verve?” He looked up at me with a Cheshire grin and replied “No but he used to be a big fan of mine.” His bands mates rolled their eyes at...
