The Friday Canon: MADNESS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The nutty boys are in town, so don your pork pie hat and jump on board the Night Boat To Cairo!

MADFAX

Madness have an average of 0.86 legs per band member (see photo above)

One of the saxophone players runs the Dublin Castle and demands that at least 75% of wall space in said drinking establishment must feature signed posters of the band

Madness once caused an earthquake in Finsbury Park that measured 4.5 on the Richter Scale

Madness are so named because frontman Suggs was (and remains to this day) a rabid fan of the Loch Ness Monster

EDIT: Just so it doesn't get short shrift, Night Boat To Cairo appears on the Work Rest & Play EP.

HANG ON

For most of Madness's career they had SEVEN members (Chas Smash was still an unofficial member in '79, hence he didn't appear in the One Step Beyond era photos, of which your selected photo is an example).

So 0.86 legs can't be right! So much for MADFAX bah.

Closer inspection of the other MADFAX may reveal further slight inaccuracies.

yes, it's actually 100% of the Dublin Castle wall space etc.

The earthquake one is true though.

Also you can see an average of more than one leg per member even in that photo, not less than one.
