Show Notes
Wild is the Wind & Vulnerability Budgie is Shirley’s all-time favourite Drummer of her all-time favourite Band! Budgie Blushes in glorious Surround-Sound When Garbage played their first London show in 1995 Budgie was moshing in the pit with Banshees’ Billy Chainsaw Shirley felt as overwhelmed as Budgie did by Bowie Golden Years 30 Big ones and Shirley couldn’t have dreamed it 25 Big ones for Lol in his old LA chair Shirley loves Lol saying ‘Butch’ in his best Scottish accent A Hard time in LA during lockdown had Shirley return to Scotland asap Little Red Corvette Lol and Budgie dreamed of driving - Shirley drives electric dreams Now all is Zen behind the wheel - Saving the Rage for the Stage Shirley was bullied as a kid - SATB helped her become Empowered! Lol and Shirley like Being Stupid sometimes Break-Up to Make-Up On Tour with The Creatures, came Budgie’s wake-up call Like an old British sitcom, Lol and Budgie share similar experiences Garbage had to break-up to stay together – to ignore what was being said The Cure & Banshees were too young to know - a year out might have saved them. Don’t Talk to Me About Love We talk about the C-word - Shirley wants the T-shirt! Leaving The Cure was like Lol leaving his family or Excommunication! To understand change is not easy - such a huge part of our identity. Budgie has come to know love’s changes Being in a band is like being married - the Pot calling the Kettle Black! Changes Shirley succinctly explains being in a band Relieved that the band has adjusted to her changes Shirley humbled by hip surgery - a triumphant story! Shirley says, forget your ego - enjoy life and seize the day.
