I have previously heard Bob tell the story of how at an important Rats gig he got the audience to turn on the record executives by saying those were the people that controlled what they listened to. The story went, next morning they were pulled from most playlists and so that effectively was then end of their progress there. No mention of it in the documentary, where the dead rats are put forward as the reason it didn’t go as planned. Perhaps a combination of both, or many things.
Anyone else remember that version......or am I just getting older and more senile every day.........I. Know what my wife would say!!!
OH I REMEMBER THAT STORY!! i actually have it in the article of a magazine I got, your memory’s definitely not failing you-here it is if any of you are curious!!
Clearly going senile....I should have put at the start this related to their attempts to break America!
