Thats more than he got during life ljc. The students of Dundee tormented the life out of him, and his performances were punctuated by rotten eggs and vegetables distributed to the audience as they entered the Queens Theatre in Dundee. If anyone suffered for their art, it was McGonagal. He had an unswaying belief in his talent though, and here we are still talking about him and the good folk of Dundee now celbrating his life.

I think his poems need to be heard rather than read. Lets have a McGonagal event in Paltalk!

By the way, George Duffus, a great entertainer himself and a very funny man passed away earlier this year.
