I'm a lifelong fan of Rolf Harris. Sun Arise was released the year I was born - it actually appeared in the UK in October 1962 when I would have been 14 months old, but even at that age I remember thinking that it was the visionary soundtrack to a matriarchal divinity that the world really needs to know about. World Music began right there.

It was a pleasure to go along to his big exhibition last (?) year at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool, which was pretty shit but no one pretends that his 'art' would be anything without his celebrity good-guy status to back it up. That said when we were visiting the chapel at Tudely in Kent back in July to see the Chagall windows, we blagged our way into the village hall to see Rolf's tribute which was rather charming.

Now it's all gone rather sour. Savile was a noxious twat, but Rolf was a man you could trust. Ha! Let's hope it all turns out for the best, eh?

Hey, but I'm very glad my Facebook Life is nothing like as exciting Lizzy's. I doubt I could cope if it was.
