    For those too young to know or appreciate get a copy of "Long Way to the Top" on DVD.
    Any man who can make a fortune and get a in the top 10 by singing mash potato and yeah over and over again deserves legend status.

    But to be fair, when Mash Potato was in the top ten, so was "Donal' where's your troosers".

    See you somewhere over the rainbow Billy!

    So long Puffin Billy.

    A terrible tragedy and very sad day. Everyone has been waiting for the news Lobby Lloyd has passed on, but to hear this is a total shock.

    Big fan of both. Lobby Lloyd has lung cancer and hasnt long to live.

    Hindsight is great, but spewin as Thorpie played at the Chelsea Heights hotel 5 min from me on Sat night Ive never seen anyone play like him and get the crowd pumping big time. Live he was just awsome
