Ian Dury and the Blockheads- What a waste (Revolver)
I met Ian once ...
I met Ian once while he was working on a play, and he was allright to me, but I know for a fact he could be a total cunt. Around the same time he caused total chaos everywhere he went. They didn't overstate it in the film, they understated it. And his problem wasn't only the drink. I love his music, but don't mythologise him, he could be bloody hard work.

@sirtinycreep - That is probably exactly true. Being a c**t myself, I can attest that usually the person calling you a c**t is a bigger c**t than you in the first place.

I think when some is as good as ian what ever he did they would call him a twat ,no way the guy was a cunt he was a master and essex should raise a statue to him

Yet in his deceased defence, maybe the film went overboard on the tw*tness. Maybe the people who called him a '**nt' were **nts themselves.
