That's all very well as long as the income isn't funding dodgy activities.

This seems to be a Groundhog Day subject about whether you should listen to someone's music if you're aware of their politics.

Me, I've only ever heard Rose Tattoo's first album from 1978. It's one of my favourite rock albums and I've just downloaded it from 7digital as I previously had it on cassette.

I don't really care about what Mr Anderson's politics were but he's dead now so what does it matter?

Bruno Mars with Anderson .Paak (aka DJ PeeWee) last night at the Alamodome in San Antonio!

I have never seen a more entertaining show in my life. And I am my granddaughter’s hero. Nuff said.

And for vocally supporting extreme right wing politics during his last couple of decades.

I think he'll mainly be remembered for singing the song that Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan walked down the aisle to in Neighbours... RIP Angry

My favourite Al Stewart album.

Angry Anderson of Aussie rockers Rose Tattoo. He'll also be remembered for starring in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome alongside Tina Turner.

The Electric Bluebirds - s/t. I was fortunate to get a cassette copy of this years ago, and a digital copy some years back.  Such a fun album! Features Alan Dunn, once of the RT Big Band.

Following it with another eminently danceable album - Johnny Clegg & Savuka Third World Child. I bought this on LP way back, and again digitised it more recently. Although Cherry Red are soon to release a 5CD set of his EMI albums which may well be worth investing in.

I'm going on Sunday night to see them at the Philharmonic in Liverpool. Never seen them live before, so really looking forward to it.
