Just watching Roy Orbison doc on BBC 4. Fantastic. Can we have a feature on him in The Word??

Forgot about that.
Don't worry...
...isn't it on i-Player???
Yeah, but
When I looked it said 'Part 2'. Double d'oh. I sort of watched that concert from the '70s (?) that was on afterwards, though. I closed my eyes and, through the hallucinagenic elements of a fever, imagined it was exactly twenty years ago, when I'd just bought my first CD player and all I had was a Best of Roy Orbison.
Watched it now
and I can't see how it would have another part. But then again, I'm ill and I can't spell hallucinogenic.
I remember the quote
From Jeff Lynne about The Travelling Wilberries it goes something like this, someone came up to said TWs and said that they were all singers to which Roy repiled I am the singer the rest are just vocal stylists it still makes me smile to this day.
A feature on a dead popstar?
You need Mojo or Uncut.
