I only came across one of his talks the other week in the Guardian. Very sad news. RIP Dunno about listening to Bob Dylan at the end mind.
Begs a question though, dunnit? A discussion that me and my younger brother had, in a very drunken state, last Christmas. He's sixteen years younger than me but we had common ground. Joy Division mainly. On a similar topic, I woke up in the middle of the night, last night, and Don't Fear The Reaper was playing in a loop in my head and I couldn't get rid of it. Scary. Especially when I realised it was The Beautiful South version and not the original. 40,000 men and women everyday.
