Haven't really been into anything he's done since 0898, but always an interesting bloke.

Seen him at the Lane a few times. Always looks smart. His music isn't always my cup of tea, but fair play to him, he's well respected.

The Housemartins and early Beautiful South stuff always had a twist in the tale, or a political point. I don't understand why he would go from that to a song like "Rotterdam".

When I daydream about winning the lottery though, I generally live my life pretty much like his.
