We can't even afford to look at it. What, White City?
![sad yes](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2158945485.gif) My point exactly.
You've never been to White City. Have you ever be to Fagley? Is there an ambitious, over-produced, mid-'80s concept album by a major rock star written about it and called "Fagley"? _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

Unless it was a t*pless tour bus with a person on a microphone saying "and, on the left you will see the world famous Springbok pub"... Isn't it next to where the BBC used to live? You must've come down Wood Lane towards Shepherds Bush. Or the other way, fleeing back up North. Either way, you would've passed it. So, I'll let you off. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| It is over. It was competent but uninspired, with a cold edge that left one feeling excluded. Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. ![Excited](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/4075307247.gif) _________________ ![white noise - Pete Townshend - White City: A Novel (1985) - Page 6 Bunnyd10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/90/50/40/bunnyd10.gif) |

| Blinking Ada! This is what it looked like when the exhibition was on. ![gasp](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/714663790.gif) ![white noise - Pete Townshend - White City: A Novel (1985) - Page 6 White-city-london-7b4a8162-9d7b-4422-ac09-4eb1de6d96c-resize-750](https://alchetron.com/cdn/white-city-london-7b4a8162-9d7b-4422-ac09-4eb1de6d96c-resize-750.jpeg) I don't think I've ever seen it depicted like that. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| Anyway, I suppose my pedantry about the White City Estate is indicative of how disinterested with the album I became after the, really brill, opening track. I think that it was almost a repeat of how I experienced the gig back in the '80s. A sense of looming alienation from and with disenchantment with that whole crowd. ![sad yes](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2158945485.gif) _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?
