Thanks for that, great to see, I love the black rose cover as a stamp, and nice to see Sarah Philomena 40 or so years after the song.

Thats a lovely photo of Phil’s family. And Caroline who was the daughter of comedian Lesley Crowther has aged beautifully. But ultimately a sad story, he was a great loss.

I’m constantly amazed at the things people write here.

Phil was hardly alone in this both in the music industry and beyond. Further, frankly, I fail to see the relevance of it or even the difference between someone who is addicted to drugs or someone addicted to nicotine or alcohol.

Celebrate the art or don’t. His personal life’s been done to death in the media.

(For some reason I had it in my head this was about Ginger Baker, despite the title. Hence the post edit.)
