Dr John RIP

No, this one hurts. I've been a fan of Dr John for a good quarter of a century or so and had the very great pleasure of sharing a cheeky glass of bourbon and some M&S crudites with him backstage after a gig at The Alex Theatre. He was every bit as cool as he seemed and patiently put up with me gabbling at him for half an hour or so. I'd hoped to pop over to New Orleans and look him up one day but sadly that'll never happen now. RIP dude.

PS: God, he even made a TV theme tune sound cool. Remember this?
