Brief Description
Song-writer and main vocalist of the Bonzo Dog Band
Long Description
As a song-writer for and the main vocalist of the Bonzo Dog Band, he was responsible for much of the band's absurdist and satirical humour. To quote the man himself: "Personally. I don't think I am bizarre. It would be silly to say I don't notice that I'm different from other people, but my difference is a result of me being ruthlessly myself. I don't from day to day strive for effect, but I am not unconscious of the effect I cause. Perhaps it would be more comfortable if I 'normed' up, then I wouldn't get touched and gawked at and that would alleviate things, but I would be losing more points personally, you see."
