Simply fantastic. "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

DavidM Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Peter Alliss total legend . Didn’t really give a stuff . Read an article saying the beeb used to warn him what to say and not say and he always ignored them knowing they couldn’t do a thing , the people adored him ! Remember him going on about Tiger Woods gripping lowdown on his shaft and everyone in the background laughing like crazy . Endless funny commentary lines , but brilliant at describing the moment as well . The voice of a sport like Ted Lowe , Murray Walker , Richie Benaud etc Pro celebrity golf as well , watched that every week !

Martyn Sadler Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Walter E Williams, who was born into a Philadelphia ghetto and was raised in a one-parent family, but became the Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He was a brilliant public intellectual. He told a story about being sent to Korea as a young man during the 1950s. He had to fill in a form about himself, and, under 'race', wrote 'Caucasian'. When the Chaplain told him he must have made a mistake, he said no he hadn't, because if he had written 'Negro' he would have been landed with all the lousiest jobs in the unit.

If he hadn't been gunned down, I wonder how Lennon would have adapted to the modern era of social media. He wasn't easily pigeonholed, was always outspoken and didn't suffer fools gladly.
