"WE USED TO PLAY AS A TRIO BEFORE GRAHAM GOT THE ORGAN, WITH JUST ALTO SAX, GINGER AND ME."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a group portrait The Graham Bond Organisation (GBO), British jazz/rhythm and blues group of the mid-1960s. This photograph was later used as cover art to the band's second studio album, also released in 1965, "There's a Bond Between Us."

L to R: Ginger Baker (drums), Jack Bruce (bass guitar), Graham Bond (vocals, keyboards, alto-saxophone), and Dick Heckstall-Smith (tenor/soprano saxophone).

PSYCHEDELIC BABY MAGAZINE: "Can you tell me briefly about how you hooked up with Graham Bond, Dick Heckstall-Smith and Ginger Baker to play in Alexis Korner’s band?"

JACK BRUCE: "Well, I’d sat in with Dick’s band at a May Ball in Cambridge, and then he spent a long time looking for me and when he eventually found me he said I should come and audition for Alexis. This was the original band with Cyril Davies, Dick, Alexis, Johnny Parker and myself. This was the most settled line-up, where Ronnie Jones off the US bases would sit in with us. Then Graham joined. That’s how it all started."

PSYCHEDELIC BABY: "What was the reason you guys broke away from Alexis’s group?"

JACK BRUCE: "I came in one day and Graham handed in my notice for me. He resigned Ginger and me. (much laughing from both Jack and me). I didn’t speak to Alexis for years after that, but that was the kind of guy Graham was. I was just a kid really, I was only about 19."

PSYCHEDELIC: "How responsive were the audiences to this new R&B group?"

JACK: "We used to play as a trio before Graham got the organ, with just alto sax, Ginger and me. That was enjoyable. Then we became just about the hardest working band in the country. We used to open loads of clubs, like the Hanley R&B club in about ’65 or so. But it was just the kids that used to come and see us and they’d just go crazy. We were funny looking too, we weren’t just some boy band."

Can I touch lightly on this topic? Have you ever loved someone that is emotionally manipulative? Someone who can mentally play you like an instrument? Have you ever had someone step into your life and slowly remove others from it? This person could have truly loved you, but loved you in a way that was so silently violent it changed you. Then, by the time you realized it and tried to pull away, you found pieces of them stitched into every part of you.

Now imagine after painstakingly cutting them out, stitch by stitch, they are thrust back into your life. Even worse, you realize you love them. No matter how much grief this relationship has caused you, you crave their love. Their fucked up love. You push away healthy love for this weird battle of wills.

I would throw us both off the cliff too. It makes perfect sense.

yk what would have been so heartbreaking to see in Digestivo when will and hannibal ‘break up’?

one of wills dogs, specifically winston, pulling at hannibal’s sleeve in an attempt to get him to stay.

Being Human was one of those rare shows that got a beautiful, kind of perfect ending. I thought so before and still to this day, I love it!!! There should've been more seasons though. I'm actually surprised too that there's not more stuff about it or Sally x Aidan on tumblr. I feel like Being Human is one of those very underrated shows that more people need to watch.

I know I am not the only who makes up an entire fantasy world in their head, with multiple different story lines (I have multiple because I keep changing my mind over which is more dramatic), and mine involves a couple of fandoms including Hannibal (obviously), BBC Sherlock, Sandman, and Dracula and Daniel Craig 007 make a guest appearance when ever I feel like it.

I also have made up some characters, and have recently had to change the name of one of them for their own good, and I keep forgetting and find it weird, because I swapped their name with another made up character.

Do other people do that? Just change character names after a while to sound better or fit the story better? Please tell me others do.

I only changed their name so their partner could give them better nicknames.

personally i think it's for the best that will and hannibal didn't date during season 1 or 2 era times entirely because hannibal knows exactly how to drive the man insane. and i don't mean the usual way i mean will would be at work and getting the most tooth-rottingly sweet texts, the kind that are so embarassing to receive that you would rather fight your friend to the death than let them see your phone.
