The Mighty Lemon Drops were everywhere in 1986. Everywhere in Norwich anyway which is where I was and where they played regularly over the course of the year.. They were clearly in awe and in thrall to Echo & The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes and The Doors. But those were all good things to be. Certainly for me at the time.
They were the subject of a fall out conversation that I had in Autumn between me and an important friend of mine who told me I wasn't allowed to like them anymore. It was one of the most preposterous conversations I ever had but it taught me something about people and the way they can tr tocontro; others. It was a parting on the waves. I realised in retrospect that it was one of those conversations that don't happen very often in life. That he thought he was the alpha male friend. I didn't see it like that.
