I think it’s credit to the man that his work deserves two threads (in music and TV)

Bummer. I used to know his son who was the spitting image of him. I'll have to send some good vibes his way.
75 isn't quite old enough. Wouldn't have even have got his Tory pension.

Fuck another one. Not a good weak.

Aw, damn. A fab mind. RIP Neil. Couple of mates met him a couple of years ago and said he was really sweet, happy to chat

Sad. 75 really isn't old. I hope this isn't going to be another bumper year for the Grim Reaper.

(Actually, why is he grim? If he doesn't like the job, he could have found another one by now. Turn his axe into ploughshares or something)

Oh that is sad news
My sis and I loved Puddle Lane when we were little kids.

One of the few people I recall made my dad laugh completely unselfconsciously. And thus a source of interest and respect. RIP.

Clever and talented chap. RIP.
