The vid on that site of him singing 'All The World Is Green' is the only thing that's made me forget my poor, hungover state today. Cheers for the link, mr

he has been in so many films!
he has written for theatre and film.
he has been selling like hot cakes for nearly thirty years!
he played in london last year and it was an instant sell out.
within an hour of the tickets being available they were on ebay at nearly five hundred quid.
the last few went for twelve hundred quid.
thats famous.
lol! don't rub it in or anything.
Is the appeal for the lyrics or melody or what? I haven;t been hooked in so far...
the voice the use of ancient instruments and styles ...the poetry ...the character the fact theres nothing and no one like him ...
most people in my family cringe when they hear him.
at my age ...i've seen the rockers and the punks etc etc ...this guy is unique.
i can't get enough of him.
Will listen to a few more then might aswell give it a chance
Some of my fav bands i hated at first listen aswell :yeees:
i like his vagabond tramp down and out bum style lots ...so refreshing from the shiny hair and treeth people.
