Tom Dunne: Daddy's upstairs with Ronnie Spector, Elton John, and Ringo Starr
Tom Dunne, Ronnie Spector, Elton John.
“Daddy has to go upstairs and talk to Ronnie Spector.” I made it as dramatic as I could. I then tried to ignore the silence, the lack of reaction, the deathly, cold, disinterest. I certainly didn’t mutter “DNA testing the lot of you,” under my breath, but I was crestfallen. “Philistines,” I thought, and being nine is no excuse.
Truth be told I was over-egging it a bit. Ronnie was not really in our attic, sipping tea and waiting to regale me with tales of kissing John Lennon or escaping from Phil Spector. But she was on my phone, my actual mobile.
