Good point, well made. Now for another can of Old Speckled Hen...

The film nearly didn’t get made, as Chris Rea borrowed Hank Marvin’s famous red Fender Stratocaster, tuned it to DADGAD, and proceeded to play some mean sounding swampy slide blues, Cliff Richard assumed that Chris was the devil, there to steal their souls and hid in his trailer, luckily Bruce Welch got the guitar back, put it back to standard tuning and told Hank to keep it away from Chris Rea, filming continued after many apologies to Cliff, and the visit of a priest to do an exorcism on Chris Rea

In addition to Spring Cleaning, another periodic task for Chris Rea is his annual exorcism.

If you see his head spin 360 degrees, then he forgot to book a priest this year.

I haven't got an exorcist handy but I do have a long bolt and correctly fitting fine pitch M14 thread to fit. Do you think he would object to the fitment of this apparatus in a head spinning emergency incident thingy?

Oh , I shouldn't think so , our Chris is a upstanding fine northern lad, always likes to Keep his head well screwed on

J D Salinger once wrote:

Among other things, you'll find that Chris Rea is not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by Richard Madeley. Chris was by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as he was. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from Chris. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.
