#68 BAAL’S BANJO
We’re only a few weeks into 2016, and already that rotten sod the Grim Reaper is having a bumper year. The dismal toll includes not only our own Robert Banks Stewart, but also such giants of entertainment as Terry Wogan, Frank Finlay, Alan Rickman, Ed Stewart, Maurice White, Robert Stigwood, Pierre Boulez... and then there’s the one that shook the world. The shining genius who took popular culture by the scruff of the neck, nonchalantly turned it inside out, and repainted it every colour of the rainbow. The man whose face stared out of front pages across the world when the sad news broke in January.
