Headgear is Daragh Dukes and friends. Ever since their 1st 7" single, “Wonderdog”, which Daragh co-wrote with Dotty, an aged airdale terrier, Headgear have explored themes of identity and oblivion using all available means.

Teehee. If you got to spare someone spare me, they're showing it again on TV... I mused Cho for The 21st Birthday Boys Brigade. Not sure how he fits in with headgear, but I thought I'd drop you the image anyway...
Where that comes from... I did a search for songs about Harry Truman and that R.W Stone one came up, I'm sure you came across it before, but couldn't resist spamming it on you. I found there's a few songs out there about Harry S Truman as well by the way, though not as fondly remembered as old Volvic Harry... I guess it doesn't help if you've had a Hiroshima or two...
