A big, burly, (OK fat) bloke called Brian Cullen was dating my kid sister at the time. (Nothing came of it I'm glad to say).

He, in his highly educated Geordie way, first in my presence repeated the "joke";

"There was a Fairy, name of Nuff
Fairy Nuff."

Nuffing hilarious, I thought. But I might have been mistaken.

Your 16 yr old sister was allowed boyfriends? Shocking.

I know. And it wasn't the first one. Before Brian, she dated a strange fellow called Sandy who was clearly dubious, but he did play jazz guitar, so there you go.

To each their own...standard top 40 makes me hit the off button...c and w is too parochial for me......hair band rock/classic rock offers no surprises in general, dance music can be very lightweight.

My tastes ranger from Miles Davis, to Dylan, to Roxy Music, to Leonard Cohen, to the Jam, to Bob Marley, to Hendrix, to Blur to post-Rubber Soul Beatles to Cowboy Junkies.

I agree that Miles Davis does take some work to get into but I enjoy the complexity of it. I do understand why you never hear it on 'best of the 80's/best of the 90's, best of today' type radio stations.
