He's up there, somewhere, enjoying a pie with terry Hall and New Zealand's finest sheep.

So I played a kind of variation of Maj's game this morning, where the next song always had to start with the last two letters of the one before, and I came up with exactly 101 songs!

And to top it off, the last one was Another Girl, Another Planet! That can't be a coincidence, people, Wally is clearly sending us a message here! ;)

Thanks for sharing. That’s so cool. And love the 101W shout out.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Not that many. I guess he didn't want to make it too obvious.

Rather sheepish behaviour on his part.

It's not his style to ram a message down people's throats.
