Then again, he does have deep desires. In doing interviews for my fansite for 80s popsters Strawberry Switchblade, guitarist Jill Bryson told me that Read had been in touch with the record company and said he ‘liked’ her. In ‘that’ way.
Jill was not only in a monogamous relationship at the time, but being a human of sound mind she didn’t fancy Read in the least.
Which – as he was Radio 1’s breakfast show DJ and therefore something of a celeb – didn’t stop the record company from tipping him off about her whereabouts and making sure he sat next to her at events.
She’d turn up to studios and he’d be there. One can only imagine how difficult it is to tap your creative muse when Mike Read’s stalking you, wanting to rub his mullet round your netherparts.
]]>And I agree with you Merrick. I don’t want to know ANYTHING about who Mike Read is screwing in private. He’s a totally sleazy scumbag. Euch – The very thought of Mike Read shagging anybody makes my skin crawl.
