That Time again

To all 'The Fruits' and 'Still Crazy' fans as well as fans of the individual actors and singers therein. I pray that the flame will still burn in each of your hearts this Christmas and New Year.

May you all have a wonderful time.

Gerry Rafferty

Gerry Rafferty is a wonderful musical genius. For those of you who do not know him (I am sure most of you will, being of good taste as you are) Gerry was in a folk band with Billy Connolly in the 60's and 70's called 'The Humblebums' with hits such as 'Everybody Knows That'. After they split and Billy started out as a comedian, Gerry went on to form 'Stealers Wheel' and hits such as 'Stuck In The Middle With You'. Later Gerry started a solo career that he still carries on to this day with hits such as 'Baker Street'.

Hence I believe that he would be one of many ideal people to do a collaboration with the fruits.

All Together

The fruits on tour. They look like a happy bunch don't they. Further proof that you can always find a table in the wild if you look hard enough.

DVD cover

These are just some of the DVD cover for the movie 'Still Crazy'.

Jimmy Nail

AKA- Les Wickes

Jimmy, would most definitely have to be Rough Fruit. Therefore making him an Avocado Fruit. With it's rough dark green semi hard outer casing and it's smooth and tasty pale green inside, much like Jimmy's voice. As well as being further proof that you should never judge a book by it's cover. ( or in this case a fruit by it's skin )

Stephen Rea

AKA- Tony Costello

Stephen, looking much like Leo Sayer and my friend's dad. Would have to be Fuzzy Fruit, this making him a Kiwi.

Timothy Spall

AKA- David 'Beano' Baggot

Timothy, Would have to be hairy fruit. Therefore making him a coconut, I think the picture speaks for itself.

Billy Connolly

AKA- Hughie

Billy, I feel would have to be Tartan Fruit. Thus making him a Pomegranate, with its multi coloured skin, cream inner flesh, red cells which contain a white or black pip.

Bill Nighy

AKA- Ray Simms.

Bill, in my mind would have to be Posh fruit. Which would made him a Star Fruit, sophisticate with a delicate taste.

Still Crazy

For anyone who has not yet seen the movie the plot line is, The Strange Fruits had it all in the seventies that makes a legendary rock band: Money, Fame, Success, Groupies, a Singer who died of drugs. The band got a new lead singer and it was then that it all went wrong, it all ended one night when lightning strikes the stage during an open-air gig. Twenty years later they seem to have all moved on working as a roofer, a gardener, a condom vendor machine manager in a foreign land, a hotel clerk and a washed out solo artist. Till one day Tony, the former keyboard player looks at his life and decides he wants it back. Starting a desperate attempt to get them back together.
