Didn't realise that White City was anything more than an old Stadium & a
tube station. The Stadium you walked by incidentally is NOT White City
stadium - that's long gone - it was Loftus Rd, home of Queen's Park Rangers
which is in the heart of Shepherd's Bush. White City Stadium was further
north towards the Westway.
>Something I'd really like to see is a Pete Townshend/Ray Davies solo album,
A bit unlikely I would have said - the two don't get on very well - Davies
has always maintained that Townshend ripped off the first two Kinks singles
with 'I Can't Explain'.
