Banksy satirised the state silencing those opposed to Israel’s genocide. The state then inadvertently made his artwork genius.

What a guy! I remember he sang a song in Paint Your Wagon. Lee Marvin in a musical! With Clint Eastwood no less. #genius

In his humble/generous acceptance speech for Best Actor Oscar for the 1965 comedy “Cat Ballou,” Lee Marvin told the cheering audience: “There are too many people to thank for my career. Half this award belongs to some horse out in the Valley. Thank you," referring to the iconic shot in the film of Lee Marvin and the horse he’s on, both drunk, leaning against a wall.

My workplace in the sixties was only a few yards away from The Ealing Club but I started three years after this event. My office was between ABC and the alleyway down to the Club. @TheEalingClub have really interesting posts on a regular basis.

This was probably the most iconic venue outside of central London. I gigged there both pre & post Mungo & saw many great performers on their way up inc Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Long John Baldy, Tony McPhee & many more

A strange little gig. I remember a great light show for such a small venue. My memory of the gig is hazy but I remember feeling it was another ambition achieved, to play in one of the most famous venues in the UK.
