Can't stand these whining self-important/absorbed gits. As a working class lad from oop-north at the time this couple were topical, I can say we reagrded them as poofs.

I've often thought that, too, especially about the big queen, Garfunkel. But then at other times I recall that Simon wrote The Boxer and is a most accomplished musician, the most, I would say, of his 'sixties ilk and then I watch and listen in admiration.

It was as much about who knows where the time goes, though, as about music, the post.

Yes, very nice, stuff of my infancy, that. And The Student Prince. Terrible violent drunk, by all accounts, Lanza.
