Slightly disappointed to see him live a few years back: opened with xmas cracker jokes ("How come the sea isn't dry if it's full of sponges?" etc).

I've never rated him particularly highly as a performer and / or poet, but he has lived an interesting life, and he was around in the very early days of Punk.

His drug habit was pretty serious, so it's amazing he's still about.

Pretty much summarises my opinion, but assumed I was missing something, considering how revered he is in some quarters.

Not a patch on Bukowski.

Definitely a geezer though and good luck to him: the spoken word, rock n roll swindle?
