STATUS QUO Guitarist Misses Days Of Collective Masturbation

ContactMusic.com is reporting that STATUS QUO guitarist Rick Parfitt misses the days when the entire band use to masturbate together on one big bed - as it formed a special camaraderie between the rockers.

Parfitt insists collective episodes of self-pleasuring was de rigeur in the 1970s, although he admits such antics would be frowned upon by todays' clean-cut chart-toppers.

He recalls, "We'd project pornos onto the side of a white building. And we'd just lie there on the bed, collectively wanking.

"It didn't help when you were in your vinegar strokes if someone told you a joke.

"But that's part of being mates in a rock band. Well, it was in those days. I don't know if people do it now. It might be a bit uncool."

Americans still wondering who the f*ck Status Quo are.

swahnhennessy: Americans still wondering who the f*ck Status Quo are.

Hey, this American isn't. I've been a fan of Quo since their set at Knebworth '90. I always found it odd that the American broadcast of that show played Quo's set in full, yet cut out Phil Collins' solo set.

...and here is the article on which the Sun's furious report is based. Anyone with more than a couple of braincells will notice that it's actually a spoof ("Opportunities are present to control this risk-for example, encouraging bands such as AC/DC to play songs like "Moon River" as a substitute for "Highway to Hell"; public awareness campaigns with influential and youth focused musicians, such as Sir Cliff Richard").

Can't wait to see what the Sun will be reporting as fact tomorrow. Sharp as tacks, those guys...

That ain't rock and roll. But neither are Status Quo.
