Great man, apart from a celebrated Chelsea fan, was a leading advocate for Animal Rights. Thats OK in MY book!
Pity it wasn't Genesis keyboard player instead of the politician

Ace, shame on you!
Regardless of whether Banks was a "Granny Smith" in a basket of poisoness Crab Apples, to choose any self-serving politician over a creative musician is terrible (even a member of Genesis)
Music makes me happy, Politics makes me sick.

It's been quite a good week for poiltical demise.....

The good news, a labour politician is dead.

The bad news, it's not Prescott.

The bad news is it seems to be the half-decent Labour politicians that are dropping off (Banks, Mowlam, Cook) and not the vermin (of which there are many...Blair, Brown, Mandleson, Blunkett, Straw... I could go on and on but I won't).
Maybe as he thinks, Tony IS God, and he's making sure all the sane members of his party are out of the way....

Okay, Ace, what's the story with the keyboard player? Did he smash your window, shag your gran or is it something more serious---like him supporting Spurs?

He might be an upper middle class, aloof ex-public schoolboy, but he's a more than capable musician.

You know me caractacus, I despise any prog rock shite. Banksy can hold his own in the world of music, but compared to a decent politician like the other Banksy, I'd have preferred to read his obituary

I agree absolutely Ace, I'm glad someone else has said it, Prog Rock is total shite, period.
We went to the Heiniken free festival on Leeds a few years ago, loads of top bands and singers were on, over four days, like Pulp, Shane Magowan, Kirsty Macoll, Souixe and the Banshee's. Those acts were all packed, but on one of the nights Mike and the Mechanics were performing, the audience consisted of about four people and a dog, and the Look North reporter who saved a lot of time and energy for a lot of people by reporting how empty it was.
Prog rock is for people who can't dance.
