And Dear Smudge;
We here are all fascinated Roxologists;
Nothing to be ashamed about!

As an overseas resident, Teresa, you're possibly unaware that there should always be a certain degree of shame in buying a rag as right wing as the Mail!

Yes, thanks for posting Roxy. Like many, I couldn't bring myself to part with the cover price for this hateful rag. It dismays me a little that the article is there at all, rather than in a paper less universally despised, but then I suppose a publicity machine has to cater for all tastes.

Cher UKRichard,
Malheureusement, vous-avez raison.
Even the mantra "all styles served here" has its limits!
Salutations,

What's the Daily Mail? Never heard of it.

Anyway, didn't Bry look rather subzero cool in his choice of suit and shirt.... and waistline self-discipline? I'm a huge fan of anyone who doesn't go to seed in his sixties/seventies. I think I'd be a staunch supporter of Bry just as a cool older guy. The fact that his body of musical work is rather sublime is another parallel big(ger) deal, admitedly.

A purification mantra might be more suitable for the situation

The Daily Mail is probably the worst British tabloid. It's a disgusting rag regularly spoofed because of it's tawdry celebrity news and putrid rightwing / racist coverage of world events. It has recently given a daily column to the vile troll Katy Hopkins. In the 30's, for a while, it sided with Hitler. To be associated with this hypocritical , shameful roll of toilet paper is embarrassing, disappointing and very telling.
