He was saying on Wednesday people who were fans at the start need to be helped across the road now, are you one of those WM

Just one thing I would change about the Foo's delivery is Grohl's almost constant franticness - would be more impactful if modulated a bit, especially at the beginning. (Can't imagine how his vocal cords have survived!)

And finally, Minder on ITV4 (Thursday 9.15am) is 'A Star Is Gorn' "Arthur gets his hands on the unreleased recording of a late, lamented pop star's final song, and decides to launch himself as a music-biz entrepreneur. Mel Smith guest stars" which is promising

The Minder Fan Forums reveal that the dead singer is played by Mike Holloway, a singer and actor who was the drummer in a band called Flintlock who appeared on TOTP in the Seventies http://minder.proboards.com/thread/472/4-7-star-gorn
https://forums.doyouremember.co.uk/threads/6249-Mike-Holoway

But Mike Holloway's main claim to fame is that he was a backing singer to Paul Shane's notoriously bad live performance of You've Lost That Loving Feeling on Pebble Mill

Which is a very contrived excuse to post this clip again. Bab-eh Bab-eh !!
