Captain Sensible 2002

[@aedelus]

Never meet your heros, except for Captain. I met him for a minute, and he's the salt of the earth.

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Viewing from afar as a Yank in the Pacific Northwest, all I can say is he is the greatest Captain that ever was, is, or will be.

[@honeycatacomb1191]

The happy talk rant at 3:55 is one if the greatest things I've ever seen

[@danielfearon5188]

Arlene the Electric Bass honest enough to say it was for the cash

[@honeycatacomb1191]

Meet him before a show last night. Sweetest person in the history of the world. He talked to me and some other people then freaked the security gaurds out. He pushed me into an area I really wasn't supposed to go into so I could talk to Dave!!

[@petershorrock677]

Amazing stuff eye-catching miss you true legend never forgotten ❤️💚💙💜

[@simonwolfendale1988]

I fucking love this bloke.

[@antonysloan6110]

Love your music and your honesty your a LEGEND God bless you mate

[@dorengarcia4761]

That's also my favorite Pink Floyd song... See Emily Play is so iconic. Yes it means a lot to the world. Music will save our asses. Music is the only thing that has the potential to save us from ourselves. If we don't blow ourselves up a new Mozart is going to come along and drag us into real CIVILizaton...

[@redvelvetunderground]

[@Kelly14UK]

[@Mxnoodlex]

REALLY INTERESTING, NOSTALGIC. AND MOST OF ALL UNFORGETTABLE. XX LOL.

[@karlclarke]

Love the Captain, Love The Damned

[@theonlyantony]

Nothing wrong with 'Happy Talk', and Mister Sensible, I believe you are rather proud of it. I LOVED the Reagan and Thatcher references used, in some of the promotional films - nicely subversive! Like the Prince Charles drub: he is a maniac with too much interest in religion to have any use. I love you Syd Barrett memory. 'See Emily Play' is my favourite record. It is perfect: pop concision with beautiful fey vocals and good slabs of feedback - properly noisy and properly meek in equally judicious measures. It captures the English bent and our humour as an island of herberts and dons. Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@jimjiminy1929]

theonlyantony happy talk is a work of genius.

[@mooseyman74]

Always tickles me when it comes on in Wallace and Gromit in The Wrong Trousers

[@thevelointhevale1132]

You're a good man Ray ... a big Punk Rock Teddy Bear ...

[@aliengrey6052]

Met him at his home in Devon last week a real great decent soul

[@VampireLily616]

Excellent interview, thanks for sharing. I met Captain a few weeks ago and he was so lovely. :D

[@notanfningain]

Love the Sensible

[@markjohnson1224]

And lo they named a locomotive after him. Top man that did this. How many other people are this articulate? Great seagull at the end.

[@TheBleech]

I met the Captain before a gig in 2002. He asked if I owed him money. I said I'd buy him a pint...never got the chance. Top bloke.

[@hellodaisygray7048]

I bought him a pint once, just put it on stage (at a smaller venue) Gatwick. Robbed the bar of a tenner. Then he asked the whole crowd for a fiver! Saw him at a carboot in Brighton later that year...He gave me a badge (A butcher shop) but he didn't know that, on the night of the gig - I thrown him a phil collins badge!!!! hhahahahaa - love captain sensible. Hope you're all well x

[@haileysvomit]

[@angelocatapang6054]

capt sensible from a guttural,growling bass guitar phenom to full spectrum sound toned six string guitar phenom.

[@Kelly14UK]

Universe Of Geoffrey Brown

[@neilphillips162]

This is ray burns not the captain, captain sensible is the one on stage playing guitar for the DAMNED ray is the one in the interview, , so don't get the two confused.

[@AnonyMous-zy4wu]

[@prune_______1986]

[@prune_______1986]

[@Kelly14UK]

Put it this way. Blondie covered New Rose.

[@Noodles37UK]

Sensible without his glasses.

[@Kelly14UK]

He's got it on his dartboard, he throws darts at it everyday LOL

[@wk4max]

[@angelocatapang6054]

and btw i'm a toilet cleaner too.

[@ALPQZM654]

Angelo Catapang who isn't a toilet cleaner🚽?

[@NewRootsHairUK]

One of the best gay singers of the 1980s.

[@Kelly14UK]

Chester Fields Christ. No way. Sensible's straight. Haha

[@jimjiminy1929]

Who gives a fuck either way?!

[@keithfrmcov]

Actually Captain Sensible has 7 children. 3 from his first marriage and four with his second wife.

[@stephenmccoy898]

Fuck all gay about him

[@MrMissingReel]

@@jimjiminy1929 Chester does...

[@cloverfield911]

Wot!

[@theonlyantony]

I quite liked happy talk, as it had a lot of symbolic relevance at the time - Thatcher and Reagan and I thought it was a nice change from the crap that was around

[@guylawrance2216]

Only four of the ‘punk’ bands ever matured like fine wine The Damned,Pistols,Clash and Buzzcocks. The rest either got to a point and stopped progressing/improving/believing or gave it up.......or should have given it up. Damned Damned Damned was a great debut album........in comparison Bollocks was over produced and lost its edge and The Clash’s first album sounds like it was recorded in a dustin.

[@BillyJango]

Why does he blink so much??

[@Kelly14UK]

Sensible needs to wear glasses all the time. It's a guess on my part.

[@gmantramp404]

Mild form of Tourettes!

[@Kelly14UK]

Lol " ear'ole "
