The BBC's 6Music station has been turned over to a tribute, hosted by Tom Robinson (2-4-6-8 Motorway etc) currently :thumbsup:

RIP: Rest In Punk! (he was one of the original "punks" IMO.)

"Walk On The Wild Side" is one of my all-time favorite songs. So simple, so low-key, so engaging.

Bye Lou ... and thanks for the music!
