 THE BLANKET * Index: Current Articles
His friend, John Stalker, did indeed attempt to conduct a fact-finding rather than fact-hiding mission, and for failing to fulfill his real mission, was removed on a pretext with his career in tatters.
Widgery was faced with the monumental difficulty that tens of thousands of people had witnessed innocent civil rights marchers shot down by the British Paratroopers who were likely deployed with premeditation to teach the Irish a lesson or draw the IRA into an ambush.
Undeterred, Widgery courted nonsense about nail bombers, assistant nail bombers, crossfire, innocent mistakes, paraffin tests for gunshot residue, etc that all but blamed the Irish for forcing the reluctant British to shoot them.

Over the last few years, with lots of encouragement from John Widgery, the County Orthoptera recorder, my husband, Denis and I have been trying our hand at learning to recognise all the grasshoppers and crickets to be found in Herts.
In addition, the side keels of the saddle-shaped plate behind the head (known as the pronotum and often a good diagnostic feature for grasshoppers) is sharply indented and, easiest of all to spot, the males have clubbed antennae and the females' antennae are thickened at the tips.
Although most of the specimens were lively, we also managed to get a few photographs to send to John together with our description, to help him confirm our identification.

 David Widgery - An Obituary
He could not and would not be tied down to a one-track life.
But this was the same Widgery who could recite André Breton's Surrealist manifesto; who wrote articles on "Fleet Street's Chain of Fools" on psychedelic paper in Oz, which he was later to edit; and who fell for Allen Ginsberg.
In his fighting collection of 20 years of newspaper articles, Preserving Disorder (1989), he says, "I'm glad I heard Hendrix live, but gladder to have marched with the dockers to the gates of Pentonville Prison." He was also glad to have done the same against bombs, for miners against Gulf wars and for hospitals.

William once lived at the cottage once called Seemoor Cottage, now called Widgerys while his son lived so much of his life at Lydford House Hotel that some have thought it was built as his own private dwelling.

 David Widgery: Too Much Monkey Business (1988)
Long John Baldry sat in the front row of tubular steel chairs with a bowler hat reading The Times and, to our bafflement, eyeing up the boys.
Which is why we ended up skipping our A-level Tudor constitutional history and going in a battered blue van to an R and B club in Windsor called the Ricky Tick and run by John Mayall, who used to live in a tree until it was declared unsanitary by Windsor rural district council.
And where I fell for a music which, a quarter of a century later, I am still entirely happy to listen to John’s son Gaz playing in a dive in Soho.

The film, directed by Gary Wood of Woodsworks Films is a comical take on the lives of standup comedians and their fictional stories of vying for the top emcee role at a new up-and-coming comedy club.
Some of the comedians starring in the film are Artie Widgery, Hank McGill, Heywood Banks and Cindy Morgan, of "Caddyshack" fame.
For a few select scenes, the crew requested that actor Artie Widgery (portraying horse psychologist Hank McFarland) drive a John Deere tractor down the highway, and Reynolds Farm Equipment sufficed to their needs.

 David Widgery: Lennonism (1985)
Review of John Winston Lennon, vols.I and II, by Ray Coleman, and John Lennon, Summer of 1980, by Yoko Ono.
But when Coleman attempts to understand the conflicts within Lennon, and their relationship to political and social events in the outside world, he flounders rapidly into nervous platitudes.
Coleman does give a sense of the contradictions at this stage in his account: mini-skirts, but weeping in the Ladies over missed periods, “drainies” carefully tightened by girlfriends, hungover mornings in a coffee-bar called the Jacaranda, the whole mixture of fierce ambition, drunken sarcasm, pretentiousness and authenticity lived to the point of self-laceration.
