Sadly, it was only a couple of years before he died when I finally understood what he was all about, so I don't have a long listener relationship like some people. But I do remember him playing an inordinate amount of records at the wrong speed.
Him and Mark and Lard were the best things on Radio 1 (if that doesn't sound too much like your granddad complaining about the gold old days). Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.
it was a university of (not so) popular music. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
