As I approached the Royal Vauxhall Tavern today for a Holiday Monday show and saw it cordoned off, with police searching the stretch behind it, it was obvious something was the matter.
A policeman who politely explained that there had been a shooting in the morning, and the venue would open at 5, and would we be so kind as to wait in South Central until further notice.
Sipping my drink looking at the D.E. Experience holding court with friends and fans, one thought only crossed my mind: whatever happened has to be related to that seedy straight club that recently opened next to Crash. I am sure it exists, but I find it very hard to imagine gun violence perpetrated by gay people.
Not until Dolce and Gabbana launch a tongue-in-cheek Italian firearms collection.
