I'm not crazy about either song, but King Curtis's version of AWSOP captured the mood nicely in Withnail. There must have been almost as many Keiths as there were Rogers in '60s British pop/rock. Those days are gone. If you tried to register your baby as Keith now, you'd be taken to the funny farm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, on the other hand if you called your baby Prog nobody would care that much either way. Youngsters encountered randomly and recently in my existence include two four year olds one called Elvis and one called Ernest Parents nowhere near the age they'd know the original Elvis or Ernie Wise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
