It’s almost a year ago that Neil left us. We need more people like Neil. Love this song. Thanks for posting.

We do need more like Neil. He was an original.

The last song from IBOR.

On the same lines as Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas', but as ever with Neil's great contributions to our culture, nowhere near as celebrated.

Wonder if John Lennon heard this one....

I think the timing would not have worked for that. This was first shown in 1981, according to the posters of the clip. Shame, John probably would have appreciated it.
