    That's sad.

    I think it is a shame when a great musician passes away without a single mention on the BBC news. And I am talking about the Radio 4 news at 5pm - which is a full hour.
    What must it be like to make those decisions about what and who to include? (I am not for one second saying it is easy)
    "Reg Presley has died. I think we should just mention it, and his illness. 20 seconds...."
    Yeah Ok.
    What about Donald Byrd? Just mention his death?
    Naaah........

    Yeah, many's the time I've heard Eddie Mair talking about the latest X-Factor gossip on PM...
    "Brilliant things instead of weeping will be for the person who comes to the truthful one. But a long period of darkness, foul food, and the word 'woe' - to such an existence your religious view will lead you, O deceitful ones, of your own actions." - 1000 years BCE, Zoroaster predicts the coming of Keanu.
