As you will probably be aware by now, our kindly benefactor Dave has had some tribulations in the last few days, and in a show of solidarity with him, someone has set up a 'We Support Dave Walker' group on facebook. However, it appears some of us in the group are unsure what form this support ought to take.
I was thinking about it earlier, and wondered whether we should all follow Dave around everywhere in replica Dave shirts, chanting things like, "We love you Dave-o, we do, we love you Dave-o, we do, we love you Dave-o, we do, oh, Dave-o we love you!" and "Come on you Dave!" Then I realised this was a bit silly, so I thought again and had a much more sensible and realistic idea.
Everyone loves a huge charity concert, right? Well then, we could show our support for Dave by organising Dave Aid - a huge concert celebrating the contribution made to the world by Daves over the centuries. And of course, the line-up would have to feature only the finest musical Daves around. I'm thinking maybe Dave Bowie headlining, with Dave Gilmour in support, plus a bit of wobbly-headed singer-songwriter stuff from Dave Gray, and then maybe Dave Clark (of the Dave Clark Five), Dave Dee (of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch) and Dave (of Sam and Dave).
And warming up the crowds, maybe some Dave-themed tribute bands? American punk from Green Dave, gentle acoustic tunes from All About Dave, camp 90s pop from Right Said Dave, camp 80s pop from Dave Goes To Hollywood and newly-reformed boy band New Daves On The Block.
Now, if only I could think of a suitable TV channel to cover the gig...
