Michael Palin: Biggles Goes To See Bruce Springsteen

[@lentilsoupbun]

Fantastic, thank you. For those who don't know this was criminally cut out of certain releases so you have done us all quite the favour!

Having fond memories of the Biggles books, AND being a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, I loved this! :D

[@Onemore59]

he was at the Hammersmith Odeon show in 1975 and wrote this at the time for a book.

Hahahaaaaaa, the "love" bit was amazing. He brought it on himself but still managed to look a tad flustered.

Biggles Flies, undone :D

Esto es de los 80'.😁

[@armandsdamanhoo]

actually this is from the secret policemans biggest ball in the early 90s

"Finally London is ready for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band" was an ad for Springsteen when he first came to england. He hated it and alot of people resented it. Michal palin went to one of these shows. You can actually get the one he went to one DVD and CD. It's called Hammersmith Odeon London '75. I recomend it and if you know me, and you do not, that means something.

Are you sure this is not from 1989?

[@MichaelPalinFan2008]

HE SHOULD SO DO STANDUP!!!! MY SIDES WERE LITERALLY SPLITTING!!!!!! Oh what a horrible image I've just conjured in people's minds. Is this one of his fiction books he wrote? Is it just an excerpt he read? Can you get this book? looooool. This is hilarious.

U don't know what literally means huh?

[@matthewleitch1]

Not at all true to the Biggles tradition. Only the consequences of heavy smoking are actually on target.

This is mockery of everything I loved as a boy. Shame on you.

a translation INTO ENGLISH would also help
