Maurice James Christopher Cole (25 December 1944 – 4 April 1995), known professionally as Kenny Everett, was a British comedian, radio DJ and television entertainer. Everett is best known for his career as a radio DJ and for The Kenny Everett Video Show.
Personal life
Early life and education
Everett was born in Seaforth, Liverpool, Lancashire into a Catholic family as Maurice James Christopher Cole. Everett attended the local secondary modern school, St Bede's Secondary Modern School in Crosby, now part of Sacred Heart Catholic College. He attended a junior seminary at Stillington, North Yorkshire near York with an Italian missionary order, the Verona Fathers, where he was a choirboy. After he left school, he worked in a bakery and in the Advertising Department of The Journal of Commerce and Shipping Telegraph.
While working at a pirate radio station Radio London he was advised to change his name to avoid legal problems. He adopted the name "Everett" from American film comic actor Edward Everett Horton, a childhood hero.
Let's Go (Pony) is a 1962 song by The Routers. Its infectious “clap clap clap-clap-clap clap-clap-clap-clap Let's Go!" chant became a favorite of cheerleaders and crowds worldwide.
Background
Although the songwriting credits are given to local singer Lanny Duncan and his brother Robert Duncan, Lanny had previously recorded the original demo of the song in 1961 as a member of the Starlighters, featuring Tony Valentino on guitar and Jody Rich on bass. The demo was recorded in Glendale, California with engineer Eddie Brackett.
Let's Go is the second studio album by the American punk rock band Rancid. It was released on June 21, 1994, through Epitaph Records and was the band's first album to feature Lars Frederiksen on guitar. The album initially achieved little mainstream success, though it appealed to the band's fanbase. However, the surprise success of punk rock bands such as The Offspring, Green Day and Bad Religion in the mid-1990s brought forth more mainstream interest in Let's Go, and it peaked at number 97 on the Billboard 200.
Until the band's fifth album Rancid (2000), Let's Go was the only Rancid album to be produced by Brett Gurewitz, although he engineered the band's third studio album, ...And Out Come the Wolves (1995).
Writing and production
After Rancid hired second guitarist Lars Frederiksen, they returned to the studio in October 1993 with producer Brett Gurewitz to begin work on its second studio album. It took the band just six days to record the twenty-three songs selected for the album.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.
Texas (1985) is a novel by American writer James A. Michener based on the history of the Lone Star State. Characters include real and fictional characters spanning hundreds of years, such as explorers (particularly Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca), Spanish colonists, American immigrants, German Texan settlers, ranchers, oil men, aristocrats, Chicanos, and others, all based on extensive historical research. At 1,076 pages, it was the longest Michener novel published by Random House. Given the success of his previous novels, the company did a first printing of 750,000 copies, 'the largest in the company's history.'
Background
Michener did extensive research on the novel in Texas, receiving much support from the state government. Governor Bill Clements offered him access to numerous state archives and research staff at the University of Texas at Austin.
Reception
Texas Monthly magazine did not like the novel, awarding Michener its 'Bum Steer of the Year Award' (given to people who have done something to merit ridicule or embarrassment) for the work's "hackneyed dialogue" and "tendency to resort to stereotypes". The journal, however, made peace with Michener later.
Texas Homecare was a chain of DIY stores in the United Kingdom and Ireland, that operated from 1972 until 1999.
History
Texas Homecare was established in 1972, by Manny, Sydney and Gerald Fogel, who had previously founded the high street specialist paint and wallpaper chain Home Charm. Taking their lead from America, they revolutionised the United Kingdom DIY market, with the introduction of the 'DIY shed' style outlet. Mervyn Fogel, co-founder and managing director for over 25 years, had a vision of turning the small family business into a DIY retail empire.
Texas specialised in higher volume, lower margin DIY products. The company had been adversely affected, by a recession and depressed housing market.
Acquisition
With its acquisition, Homebase hoped to hold around 10% of the total DIY market in the United Kingdom. In May 1995, it was announced that only 26 Texas stores were to close, with limited redundancies. Sainsbury's found that full conversion to the Homebase format was an investment worth making, and allowed £50million for the task.
A few of the best bits I captured from Kenny's TV shows. I compiled this collection of Kenny sketches back in the early 80s for a video party I was having.
I created a 3 hour vhs tape of my favourite and popular songs at the time from TOTP, OGWT and various other music performances to play at the party instead of vinyl. To make it more interesting I edited in a Kenny segment from his tv shows I had recorded in between several of the songs. For example the Cliff bits were spread over the 3 hours. My selection was based on his Sid character. Of course his other characters are hilarious too but I just wanted Sid for the party. The party was a great success. When clearing out old vhs tapes during lockdown I found the tape and decided to bring all the Kenny bits I used together in one piece a...

Kenny Everett as "Cupid Stunt" on "Parkinson" '82 (pt.1/7) HQ
This is part ONE of what was a magical night for me (for PART TWO, hit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ja-HRyGWY). It was the 6th of March, 1982 and unannounced, TWO of my FIVE ALL-TIME HEROES appeared on Parky - Buddy Rich and Kenny Everett (they'd never have met any OTHER way!)
Also there, were Roy Castle and a surprise guest. This was a SHOW. Almost a full hour. No sidekick. No desk. And all of the guests STAYED after their initial interviews. Buddy did THREE numbers and then... well, you'll have to watch it to see!
You need to see ALL SEVEN pieces, IN ORDER. Now, put your computer onto FULLSCREEN and enjoy!

Kenny Everett admits he is an à la carte Conservative. He approves of how party leader Margaret Thatcher dealt with the UK President of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) Arthur Scargill.
There are other things about them that I don’t like.
Kenny Everett describes Clause 28 as a curtailment of freedom. He disagrees that people in the public eye have a duty to stand up for their beliefs. Rather than taking to the streets and making demands, his way of standing up for gay rights is by being an amusing and entertaining person who just happens to be gay. This way people,
See that you are not a thing with horns and you’re not inhumane and you can be amusing, or you can sing good, and they think hey, these people are humans after all.
Kenny Everett appeared at the Conservative Party Conference in the guise of his mock-evangelical character Brother Lee Love with his trademark giant hands, purely because the Tories asked him first. This does not mean he believes in everything they stand for.
This episode of ‘The Late Late Show’ was broadcast on 3 February 1989. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
