If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

A former colleague saw him play Leeds Uni. I've never heard anybody enthuse about a single gig so much, ever.

Though his stuff wasn't particularly my bag, it does seem that the World's lost another true entertainer.

RIP

I saw him support RHCP a couple of years ago. Legend, and will be sorely missed.

I consider him to be the most important figure in music for the last 40 years or so . . . without him there's no funk, no soul, no hip-hop, no rap. There's no Stevie Wonder, no Prince, no Michael Jackson, which means pop music would be considerably different too.

If we score tomorrow, I wonder if we'll play "I Feel Good" after the goal?

If we score tomorrow, I hope we play something a bit more fitting.

As well as his great vocal stuff, JB showed the way to a generation of dancers, including Michael Jackson. Legend. R.I.P.

What? He held up the Association for Management Education and Development? :shock:

Strange choice. I bet they only had personal belongings and the contents of the petty cash tin.

I'd have done the Post Office myself like that Australian guy that we signed.
