In 1991, Hoffs released her first post-Bangles solo album, When You're a Boy. It begins with the Billboard Top 40 single "My Side of the Bed" (which also charted in the UK at number 44). It includes the track "Unconditional Love" and ends with a cover of "Boys Keep Swinging", the 1979 song written by David Bowie and Brian Eno. The album was a critical failure; it reached number 56 in the UK album charts and number 83 in the US album charts. One upbeat assessment was provided by Alan Neister of The Globe and Mail, who found the album as good as the Bangles' best work: "Both as a songwriter and a song consumer, Hoffs has an ear fine-tuned to a great hook, and there isn't a song on this album that isn't hummable on the very first listen." In The Times, Sinclair felt that with the exception of the Bowie cover, the album was an "airbrushed exercise in boredom". It was rated as a "dud" by Christgau. Jimmy Nicol of Q Magazine gave the album four out of five stars and wrote, "An album which expands the Bangles' brief into undreamed of territories. She reveals herself to be a highly inventive composer, lyricist – and even humourist" yet in The Encyclopedia of Popular Music (2006), Colin Larkin gave the album 2 out of 5 stars, and argued that it "failed to maintain the interest of the mainstream fans who had discovered the Bangles in the wake of the smash single 'Eternal Flame', while simultaneously alienating the Paisley Underground loyalists with its AOR clichés". The Trouser Press Record Guide entry by Ira Robbins panned the album as a "no-holds-barred commercial bore".

"fit to stand among Dylan's finest, transforms the Florida island into a dreamy vision of paradise. Religion and myth are fused with real places. Dylan maps the album's cartography with the deftest touch, sometimes teasing in tone, sometimes straight."

" "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)," a memory-smudged map rendered in tonal watercolor, is a particular highlight."

Palladium: "The gig's centrepiece was ...one of the highlights from Rough and Rowdy Ways. It had been rejigged for live performance, swapping the recording's beautiful air of elegy for a more upbeat arrangement. No new secrets were unlocked from this masterly song by doing so, but the shift fitted the evening's mood."

Background
The World Snooker Championship is a professional tournament and the official world championship of the game of snooker. The sport was developed in the late 19th century by British Army soldiers stationed in India. Professional English billiards player and billiard hall manager Joe Davis noticed the increasing popularity of snooker compared to billiards in the 1920s, and with Birmingham-based billiards equipment manager Bill Camkin, persuaded the Billiards Association and Control Council (BACC) to recognise an official professional snooker championship in the 1926–27 season. In 1927, the final of the first professional snooker championship was held at Camkin's Hall; Davis won the tournament. The annual competition was not titled the World Championship until 1935, but the 1927 tournament is now referred to as the first World Snooker Championship.

In 1952, the, following a dispute between the Professional Billiards Players' Association (PBPA) and the BACC about the distribution of income from the world championship, the PBPA members established an alternative competition known as the World Professional Match-play Championship, the editions of which are now recognised as world championships, while only Horace Lindrum and Clark McConachy entered for the BACC's 1952 World Snooker Championship. The World Professional Match-play Championship continued until 1957, after which there were no world championship matches until professional Rex Williams gained agreement from the BACC that the world championship would be staged on a challenge basis, with defending champion Pulman featuring in the first match. Pulman retained the title in several challenges from 1964 to 1968.

The 1969 championship, when the tournament reverted to a knockout format, is regarded as the first of the modern snooker era, and was won by John Spencer. From 1972, the championship was organised by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA), which was the renamed PBPA. For 1972, the tournament was sponsored by Park Drive. The defending champion was Higgins, who had won the in 1972.

 * "Kids at home adored the chaos ... while their dads admired the denim-clad charms of Sally James."
 * "Sally James was popular with dads because of her penchant for leatherwear, delaying DIY tasks across the land."
 * "The Tiswas presenter shared centre stage with Chris Tarrant and Lenny Henry, and was famous for wearing wet T- shirts and singing the Bucket Of Water Song."
 * "She soon became famous for her plunging necklines, fishnet tights and thigh-high boots."
 * " 'I wore low-cut tops but that was simply because it was baking in the studio – too hot for woolly buttoned-up jerseys.'"
 * "THE smile that used to send dads weak at the knees every Saturday morning is as dazzling as ever....Tiswas turned her into a cult favourite and 21 years later she is still remembered as the woman who first brought sex appeal to children's telly.

"Sally James kicked off the trend in the golden age of flares when she co-hosted Tiswas with Chris Tarrant between 1978 and 1982.

Sally became a household name and Tiswas Appreciation societies sprang up in pubs and universities."
