From the Guardian blogs here's one of the most amusing stories I've heard in a while:
In my very early twenties, I was about to get the crap kicked out of me in a nightclub by some middle aged, coked-up psychopathic American beefcake who'd accused his poor old girlfriend of looking at me, and had decided to destroy me to prove a point to her. Unbeknowst to me, the incident had been witnessed by our hero Lemmy. Having satisfied his enquiries that I was not 'trying to fook some fella's lady', he took it upon himself to deal with the matter...and he certainly did. The American fella was led to a quiet area by him and a few of his friends - Motorhead roadies I believe, and lectured on the pros and cons of bullying. I hate to think what happened to him.
When he returned, he explained that he hated to see an unfair fight, and was always happy to help. I tried to buy him a drink as thanks - instead he signalled to the bartender and ordered a round of Jack and Cokes - apparently drinks were always free for him and his friends.
It's about time this country starts recognizing it's real heros, and gives him a Knighthood.
One more thing - Motorhead and Girlschool - 'Don't you touch me baby cause I'm shakin' so much'.....The greatest duet of all time.
