Annie: Thank you
Roger: Annie Lennox
David: Absolutely fabulous. Where did she get that dress? Beautiful. This is where the fun stops. At the end of the sixties, we were left with a legacy of quite wonderful bands, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones. And then came the seventies, with this new unstoppable crop, T-Rex, Roxy Music, Queen, Spiders From Mars, and The Rolling Stones. We all used to play the same dance halls and theatres, and play the same clubs, try not to wear the same clothes, and slept with a lot of the same people I think, but ah, one of the major rockiness bands of that time was called Mott The Hoople. But firstly I'd like to introduce you to the guitar player from the Spiders From Mars, Mick Ronson. I wrote a song for Mott The Hoople, the lead singer of that particular band was Ian Hunter.

Ian: Uh.
