I've never really been able to digest his music but occasionally with time a couple of his songs are a bit OK with a bit of effort in the liking. I saw him on TV last year or something he's still trying to maintain the image he had in the 80's - bit silly really - similar to the guy with the bloated face - Pete Burns.
