[Wynonie Harris]

Is this character still knocking around? I remember his "Citizen Smith" type rants from when I used to read the Observer back in the 80's and maybe even earlier. He would doubtless regard grief as a capitalist, bourgeois indulgence, manufactured by the property-owning classes to suppress the noble efforts of the proletariat to free themselves from their chains of enslavement etc etc....(yawn).
