[total-madness] Re: Wanted-Original Madness fans

[phurley]

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to make 100 % sure that Robert and Adele know what they're doing in asking for original SKINHEAD fans who have remained die-hard ever since for this documentary. I, like many others I'm sure, am an original fan since 1979 but I am not a skinhead, though I have nothing against skinheads at all ( I just don't have the hair for it!). All that I'm worried about is that the programme will turn into a stitch-up about Madness and racism (which I thought had been buried many years ago but with a new generation of people aware of Madness I suppose there's always the danger of it resurrecting). Whilst none of us I suppose will know the angle of the programme until it is actually broadcast, I would hope that the band and especially any other contributors to it would be aware of the potential for the whole Nazi thing to blow up again and be careful as to what they say. Just remember that true skinheads can be 'black,white, chinese,or anything really' and that you don't find yourself saying 'Don't quote me on that'!  Sorry to send such a serious mail at a time of such great excitement but as I said I thought all that was buried years ago and I would hate it to resurrect itself and cost the lads brownie points and sales Cheers Paul
