Reasons to be cheerful

I am currently enjoying a double CD of Ian Dury - an artist who rather passed me by the first time round, although I am of the right age to have been a rabid fan. I am slightly embarrassed to only do this after his death.

I can remember my primary school teacher talking to the class about Ian Dury's appearance on Top of the Pops (which means this must have taken place on a Friday morning in 1979, I suppose). She descibed his shortcomings at length, and clearly wondered what the world was coming to. "Imagine getting paid for singing hit me with your rhythm stick! What rubbish!"
