The music charts have never been the same since his classic homage to the
terrible Vietnam war *19* was firmly straddled atop.
*No one was really sure what was going on* Classic line, and pretty much
summed up the American attitude to virtually everything.
Didn't realise he was so old, or indeed that he had been Knighted. For
services to music presumably. Well done old fruit, you'll be missed.
Any chance of a re-release do we think? Better than some of these rock beat
combo's that masquerade in the charts these days.
Oooh...oooh...Gotta Go Dame Patti Smith is on TOTP2. (She's done well since
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie aint she?)
