Was that the one that had a rumble with a tiger or the other one?

Other one. Covid got Roy last year.

Covid also claimed Gerry Cottle the circus bloke today as well

Phil Spector genius music producer and owner of possibly the maddest hair style ever aged 81, died in prison while serving a murder charge

 

[Paul]

Undoubtedly a genius, but probably one of the most odious creatures to have walked the earth

 

[The Bear]

Unchained Melody was a masterpiece. He made a huge stodgy mess of The Long & Winding Road though.

My hero, but another where the question "how famous do you need to be to get away with real sordid stuff" ?
See, Chaplin, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Woody Allen, Bill Wyman etc. etc.

Spector won’t be Eulogised by me, talented yes but as a human absolutely deplorable horrible individual. This clouds over any talent he had.

 

[Parkins left foot]

If he had died 100 yrs ago then we would still have celebrated the music - the fact that it's more recent makes it more difficult to separate the 2 issues.

Separating art from the artist is always difficult.

Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, even Rolf Harris.

Time changes things as Caravaggio was a murderer, but no one from then is still here so it's not mentioned though his art is acknowledged.

And Rolf wasn't a great artist even if he did paint an upside down duck for my nephew at Great Ormond St a month before he died at age 5

 

[Pablowolf]

Why an upside down duck?

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Why an upside down duck?

Couldn’t guess what it was ...... yet

 

[Parkins left foot]

Why an upside down duck?

That's what Robert asked for - why 'who knows'
