Mr Olesko

I don't have a 'cause'. I'm in business to help artists trapped in a tragic and unfair impasse if I can, some of whom are personal friends, one of whom actually asked me to do what I could and gave me permission to speak on his behalf.

Steve Shaw summarised 'the other side to the issue' as succinctly as I have ever heard it. Let that suffice and cut the weasly words.

And if on another occasion you feel obliged to drag someone's name into your bizarre attempts at justification of the indefensible, don't let it be mine. Your jokey-blokey mates had a field day of testosterone-fuelled (I do like that expression though it wasn't mine) off-topic, sexist, denigrating boys' talk which diverted and damaged what some of us are trying to achieve.

Ah, and I've remembered now. You were the one who, when Chris Conder was announcing the world exclusive first play of Bellowhead on Cool As Folk, you came on bleating that you'd played Bellow a few times.

Ahem.

Bellow = Spiers&Boden duo 2nd album.
Bellowhead = later 11-member band.

Is this the standard of accuracy your radio show listeners are accustomed to?
