Nope, me too.

I don't know why but he just doesn't strike me as being a part of such an iconic band.

He is very empathetic, admits his own shortfalls, he is prepared to discuss some painful periods of his own life, he is a listener and despite being a clergyman, he doesn't come over as didactic.

Re: I thought I Pretty Good On Music Knowledge

I must listen to detail more, sounds like one of my old school reports. However I did know that Richard Osmans brother is a guitarist in Suede and I now know another factoid with the Prof Cox one 👍
