And Aaron Carter.
I was thinking the same.....not a good place to be fighting for your life....in a Mexican hospital.
I had a friend almost DIE, over appendicitis, in a Mexican hospital, long ago.
Luckily, she was able to be flown out, back to the states, in time for serious intervention for a bad infection that had set in.
I did like Ned’s Atomic Dustbin’s cover of “Saturday Night”.
I had no idea Paton was with the Bay City Rollers. And I've always considered Ian Bairnson to be one of the most critically underrated guitarists ever in rock.
So basically they were an Osmonds starter kit.
The 70s.
Ugliest fashion decade in the history of humanity.
