(TV) berry / keef

["Raymond" <ray@wavewalker.freeserve.co.uk>]

one of the best bits in "hail hail rock and roll" imho has to be during the
concert footage segment when Chuck tries to persuade Keef to change the key
of the song they're playing in once the song has already started (!) ,
sidling over nonchalantly he whispers into Keef's ear and you can see K
looking horrified and then just silently and emphatically mouthing the word
"NO!!" to him - as a result when Chuck takes his solo it is one of the
lamest you'll ever hear-absolutely hilarious and the perfect karma payback
moment for all the grief and ego bullshit that Berry has given him and the
band during the rehearsals and days leading up to the show
