Currently listening to JCC reading his autobiography "I Wanna Be Yours" -- all 15 hours of it! It's wonderful, by turns hilarious and moving, and always interesting. It was a happy surprise to hear (in Chapter 47!) about his experiences being the opening act for Be Bop Deluxe on tour in 1978. John speaks highly of Bill.
(If you're interested in hearing John read his amazing book in his unique style, you can get a free 1-month Audible tryout, as I am doing!)
best wishes to all

I saw him at Liverpool Empire on that tour I remember there were mutters in the audience as he came on stage again with the wade of notes in one hand and a pint in the other. He had hair that made the prog audience well groomed but after a couple of kung fuey chop suey chops the audience warmed to him and he has since then seemingly gone down well in Liverpool. Excellent night.
