Perhaps not the famous in the UK but for my money he’s an absolute ledge.

Just found out he passed of the bastard covid 19 a few days back.

Knocked me off my perch a little this one.

One of the greatest song writers ever and he could make you laugh then rip out your heart a line later.

For those that are unaware of him. Give these two a blast if you fancy.

This was also famously covered by Johnny Cash, although as a god fearing man, he refused to sing the lyric about Jesus Christ being dead...I suppose.

One of the most somber songs I know. Tells a sad story of a Vietnam vet turning to the needle.

It’s simply heartbreaking this.
