Brilliant first album.
So much meaning at the time.
And everyone has sung red red wine after a few.

RIP

Good old fashioned character actor. It's sad but he had a good innings. RIP.

Was also in Battlestar Galatica. I’ve always thought they would do a remake of Quantum Leap. Was a great show to watch as a kid.
