An old band member has died, which is very unfortunate. Stephen Jones was our video guy up to 1990 - after which I’ve handled the video for 36 years.
People are emailing me with condolences, who haven’t bothered to say hello to me in decades. I’m trying to be polite but honest - Stephen has done many other things a long time and deserves praise for that. We’ve occasionally caught up over the years.
I’m not the person to console. And the nostalgia is inappropriate at this moment.
