RIP- musicians

[Andy]

It's a sad situation that a man who in many ways was a musical hero had feet of clay. I'm not good at processing my feelings in this kind of thing.

I loved his contribution to music and, until those problems arose, I really liked him (never met him, though).

I guess that, once again, it's a case of having to separate the parts of the parson's egg.

I'm sorry he died. Cancer is a bastard, spinal cancer is a really bad bastard with shades of Jason Statham.

66 was too young.

It gets easier to do that. Think about your own shortcomings, then think how you'd feel if they came to define you.

I was talking to Mrs B about Andy last night and she observed how on the Isle of Man they will give out custodial sentences at the drop of a hat, bit like in the Falkland Islands. So it's quite likely that if the offence had happened on the mainland Andy would probably have got a suspended sentence or had to do work in the community. But anyway, he did his time and I'd rather focus on the music he introduced to so many people via his radio work.

I for one will always remember him as the guy who brought Ted Hawkins over to the UK. Seeing Ted in concert was one of the most incredible night's music I've ever witnessed.

 There's a question of degree here. Where do you draw the line? Everyone has their own line, I''ve no doubt.
