Why DOES Tony Fletcher need a degree when he's got to 60 without ever having to show so much as an O Level certificate? I'm intrigued!

My guess(es):

To teach, and share your knowledge.

Or... or... umm... or just because you can.

Any which way, keep having fun.

Thanks. It's such a great anecdote. Whole book too.

Cheers Tony! We had a blast and it was so nice to spend that time with you between sets! Idles rocked. I enjoyed reading your substack about it!

This was fantastic Tony! I often find myself drowning in unread Substack posts but thankfully have been managing to keep catching up, even if that results in a few late nights here and there.

I’ve only recently been turned on to IDLES but loving their most recent album. I’d love to see them live some day. Your write up of the show was fantastic, especially the segment and video of Ash - that was lovely!

So glad you're enjoying the new album. It feels like they made a concerted effort to broaden their musical horizons. Such a band.

I am trying. Watching football first thing in the morning doesn't always help. But glad to hook you straight in...
