A real shame

Maybe Chris Lewis could step in, he has just been released, I am sure he will have some funny anecdotes about flogging his junk around the world

hope he's OK (OK being a relative term when one has terminal cancer).

Not a bad thing in my opinion, watched him a few times at various festivals, he was no doubt a victim of the system. But it was quite clear that he only attended these events to boost his own ego. Just go and watch Paul Weller or Billy Bragg instead mate, they all do the same shit.

How is anyone pulling out of anything due to cancer "not a bad thing"?

This kind of post/opinion is very odd and pretty much not required. The fella is sick. Your opinion on his attendance to festivals is not really appropriate at this time

A performer at a festival with an ego.

Abhorrent.

I'm not entirely sure he was a victim of the system. Surely the only reason he got away with it and eventually got out of the clutches of the American penal institution was that he was a member of the system. Fully fledged I would have thought. I would agree with you though that his ego is phenominal. Wouldn't yours be if you could pull that stunt off and talk openly about it for the rest of your natural.

Gutted

Billy Bragg and Paul Weller are the same as Howard Marks......?!

 

That is indeed hard to comprehend.

[___S_o_m_a__]

Not a bad thing in my opinion...

 

You know he's ill right?

[The Placid Casual]

What a shame. Poor guy

[ltfckimbo]

You know he's ill right?

Fair assumption that he didn't, no need to harangue the fella.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Fair assumption that he didn't, no need to harangue the fella.

 

Not exactly - the link in the first post details his ill health. And it was hardly harangueing anyway if we are going to be fair about it all. Just saying.

[GlastoSimon]

Really disappointed, was looking forward to this! Poor bloke

Sucks. Howard has been my Sunday breakfast go-to every time I've been. Sad times.

[august1]

A pathetically loveless assumption of a great man, there is only one person in this thread that has an ego and attention seeking status. Sounds as though you have done absolutely no research on the man as to why he did so many public appearances and the reason why.

at least the guy from Sparks is still going

Reading Mr Nice off the back of this. I'm ashamed to say, never heard of him before, so cheers!
