Let's keep the
Motorhead theme going...
Rik Mayall died just over a month ago. Rik, of course, played "
Rick" on
The Young Ones. I'm not even going to attempt to explain The Young Ones, other than to say it was one of the many BBC shows that PBS and MTV imported in the mid-80s that were a breath of fresh air to teenagers, like myself, marooned in an otherwise dull suburbia.
I remember, like it was yesterday, being at Terry's house sometime in high school when
this episode came on and
Mike looked at the camera and simply said "Music!" I was already a Motorhead fan, and "
Ace of Spades" is probably their most enduring song, but The Young Ones version is especially fun.
