104. Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley 1995




This one goes out to Dan. It is it still one of his favourite songs? I guess so. Dan was a Lizard regular who really wanted to have a go at DJing. One night I gave him a set at the Lizard. He never looked back. He became part of the Lizard gang and it's hard to think of a time when he wasn't there. (although there was!) A popular DJ who was there through the good and the bad times. And always supportive. He became such a good friend that he was best man at my wedding.  He'd play this often near the end of the night. Then he'd moved his head from side to side in his own world. And let out a cloud of smoke. What was he thinking of?
Now he rides his huge skateboard down my street. One night I followed him slowly in my car. He gave me the dirtiest look known to man. He didn't know it was me!

Liz and I saw Jeff at the Palais. Great concert but it seemed as if Jeff was a little bit out of it. this song was the highlight. Really it's the best song he ever did. It was enough to build a legend on. Though I haven't heard anyone mention him for a while.
Dan and I are still in discussions about a Lizard reunion. Meanwhile we've got tickets to Roxy Music.
