    I had my stag weekend in Blackpool in 1983 and the club we went in had Mud on. Les was in great form. It was way before his illness and he sang all their hits. None of the other original lads were still in the band though, but it was a great night, from my hazy memory.

    Me and my ex missus saw Mud at The Cock Hotel in Ripley, Derbyshire just before they made the Big Time. A week or so later, we saw them on TOTP on the tele.

    This is supposed to be the story behind the song, but what it didn't tell you was that Dynamite was written for Sweet but they didn't want it. It's not a typical Mud song, but you can easily imagine Sweet playing it.

      Sweet also turned down 'Tiger Feet' which ironically kept 'Teenage Rampage' from the number 1 position !

    "Make ppl laugh, make ppl smile". Right.
    Nowadays, when I smile at a stranger in the street or in a shop because our eyes meet, they don't give a smile back. Huh? It's FREE, it also doesn't hurt them. Even looking angry at me for giving them a smile, a friendly face. Really?? What happened to ppl? Even teenagers!!
    Little kids do smile back at me, they're still pure.
    Come on ppl, a smile, a greeting, a friendly face for a stranger when our eyes meet does NOT cost you anything and it really doesn't hurt you.
    BE KIND, ONE PPL ONE LOVE right?

      Fun Fact: although they were already a great Live Band, on their first two singles they weren't allowed to play. By Dynamite and Tiger Feet they'd vastly improved, and did play for real.
