Dont know if mudcat is right place for this. But couldnt resist passing on this quote from the recently deceased irrepressible Melly.

"They're making this wonderful pill that combines Viagra with Valium" hed say smirking behind his eyepatch "So if you dont get a f**k you dont give a F**k".

quotation from obit in September edition of Jazzwise.

Mudcat is as good a place as any, Ken!

Too many people go into hushed awe of people who have died, instead of celebrating the person they were - warts and all!

The quote I remember from George Melly was that when he lost his libido it was like being unshackled from a maniac.

"I've always said I wanted to die either coming off stage with the applause in my ears or of a terminal stroke on a river bank with two trout by my side."

I can't imagine many folks who would be happier than George Melly to think that people were still chuckling about him after he had passed on. Those are two smashing quotes.
