I saw the thread heading and thought "that ought tio be Quentin Crisp, but it won't be"... And the it was after all.

You know this Mudcat is a good place.

There was a thread a few weeks back, talking about whether there were any real heroes. Noone mentioned Quentin, but we should have. And Dennis Potter, that's another. and Jennifer Patterson. You don't know them till they're dead.

But a heart attack at 90, on the eve of a sold-out tour of England, not a bad way to go. A pity he didn't do a couple of the goodbye gigs first.
