I must admit, I...You talk only of his music, Mark.<br /><br />I must admit, I was not a fan of his music or style of comedy and was not surprised that FB was not full of sorrowful messages of sadness at his death.<br /><br />But as someone said yesterday, if you go into any old people's homes, you will hear his songs being played.<br /><br />Max was from an era, long gone (almost) and yet we all know the songs and sing along to them, and when you hear his jokes...they are still funny today.<br /><br />Max has been off the stage for quite a time now, so I guess even you cannot really remember seeing him on TV as I did in my youth. Max was uncool for my generation, as was Des O'Connor, yet Des' reputation was probably due to Eric Morecambe's put downs of him and yet Des played along to it and his career still went up and up.<br /><br />Des O'Connor is a brilliant comedian (and singer) in his own way and we must see Max Bygraves in the same light.<br /><br />Max had a long life and was a brilliant entertainer and its always a sad loss when one pops his clogs. Unfortunately for me, I have seen so many die over the years and we all have happy memories of those who bring us joy with their music or make us laugh.<br /><br />Maybe you need to look at some of Max's comedy, Mark? Just a thought.....Andrew Lyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771124334641985356noreply@blogger.com
