wish i could find a clip of whatever TV show Tony Soper used to present that had really evocative birdsong played over the end credits, think it may have been a curlew call in particular

Billy Davis, Jr. - then I realized I was conflating him with Don Cornelius just because Solid Gold and Soul Train blurred together in my mind from watching them as a small kid.

I thought Christopher Lee had been dead for years, then I read that he died today which also isn't true.

Chris Rea is alive! (also, he isn't Robert Palmer) (yeah, I know, there's nothing similar to them, but he somehow was, in my mind)
― StanM, Sunday, 1 February 2015 18:07 (nine years ago) link
Fool if you think he's over, because he's only just begun
(this post brought to you by Predictable Dad Jokes About Dad Music Incorporated)(when I was 13 Chris Rea was dad music and every dad ever by law had "Road To Hell", "Auberge" and a Dire Straits album but he's not even that any more, right, everything I like is dad music instead, I know)
