I suppose so
I'd never really thought of it in those terms, as you can imagine there's surprisingly little of it out my way. My prolonged stint as DJ at the city's leading rock night makes me a minor celebrity on the "scene" here. That should hopefully give you an idea of scale.

Bizarrely the Railway Inn in Winchester, the nearest pub to my mother's house
and the scene of some of my early gigs with Electric Head Funk, is now quite a rated venue - they have some fairly big names playing there.

Celebrity by proxy innit
There's probably a small shrine outside, a pile of unworn jeggings and scornful put-downs surrounding a plaque saying "Monty Boyce's Mum lives just over there!"

I may manufacture my own blue plaque and surreptitiously put it up on the wall of the pub.

Blue?
White, surely ;-)

I don't get this I'm afraid. Sorry.

Are you familiar with the Black Sabbath song "Snowblind"?
I cannot believe I've just asked that question

For a moment there I was fully expecting you to tell me that really good MDs aren't white

Flake is pearlescent and waxy,
pharmaceutical is pure white. MDMA when pure should be yellowish or pinkish and translucent: if you have a white powder it's been heavily cut.

Heroin comes in white (so-called Chinese) and brown (Afghani).
Smackheads often prefer the brown apparently. I learned this from a book about DeeDee Ramone.
