I would second that Jools.

But the trouble is the media are always waiting for stories like this when all you have is that some politician claimed 45p for a Mars bar on his expenses, this all gets a bit boring after a while and so they start to pick on the BBC for their executive expenses to drum up some more media frenzy.

Then sadlye a great cult pop star dies and amazingly the media jump onto it and quite rightly too, but the simpathy will go on for a few days, then as they dig into his past they will drag up as many sensational stories as possible. To sell papers etc.

I was not a big fan but as others above I remember the hype around the 80's when he was at his prime. Every one was trying to moon walk. Amazing guy sorry he went down hill.

Would have been good to see what he would have come up with later in the year.


R.I.P.
