Vale Billy Thorpe

Billy Thorpe has died of a heart attack, aged 60. Not that I was a fan - the only thing I knew of his from radio was "Most People I Know", over and over and over - but we heard him live as the support act for Alice Cooper and he gave a good performance. Fun, loud but mellow, and some amusing anecdotes in between the songs - although he was well-known for having found religion, which is what "Most People I Know" is about, he was apparently quite happy to entertain us with tales from a disreputable youth.
