Vivian Stanshall (1943 – 1995)
Born Victor Anthony Stanshall, was an English singer-songwriter, painter, musician, author, poet and wit, best known for his work with the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, for his surreal exploration of the British upper classes in Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, and for narrating Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.
English as tuppence, changing yet changless as canal-water, nestling in green nowhere, armoured and effete, bold flag-bearer, lotus fed Miss Havishambling, opsimath and eremite, feudal-still reactionary Rawlinson End. The story so far. (Dot dot dot.)
That was inedible muck, and there wasn't enough of it.
If you're going to say anything filthy, please speak clearly.
Do have an unusual day, won't you?
Seems a novel enough way to commit suicide. Pass me m' pistol. See if I can't bring the blighter down in the lake.
