Going Loco Down in Acapulco



Dear James,

With news today that Ronnie Biggs is a free man, let's have a look at the film that started it all. Here's the Four Tops on Top of the Pops. Phil Collins wrote this with one of Dozier, Holland or Dozier. Although he never matched the giddy heights of sister Joan´s acting feats, there can nevertheless me no doubt as to Collins´ songwriting talent. Ignore what Barry Norman says, he´s just a stooge of the royal family.



And here´s a coincidence I've just found half an hour later: the great train robbery was 46 years ago today. And it's Ronnie Biggs' birthday!
