John Cooper Clarke - well worth the long wait

I was lucky enough to see JCC in about '83. Has he aged well? Or has he become successor to Bill Burroughs? ;)

I was thinking, at one point, that he's rather more like Bill Nighy's long-lost brother, actually. :D

He's aged remarkably well, I think. Slight bald patch o'er the crown, red glasses instead of black, but other than that - looks exactly the same as he's looked the last three decades, really. Hard to think that legs like that can actually bear up an entire poet's weight...

Aha, good to hear that I wasn't the only one! I caught that tour as well (albeit in Perth) and can report that as per B's comments below, age hasn't tarnished him much. I was startled to note how impossibly skinny his legs are though. And his red glasses no doubt hid much signs of agedness.

He mentioned this morning that he'd run into a passel of folk.
