I agreed with him sometimes - Damien Hirst is indeed "fucking dreadful" - and I disagreed with sometimes - great art can be appreciated if it's in the north, thankyouverymuch - but he was always worth reading.

 

Superb voice too. Search out the video of him saying the word "pepperpot". It's sublime.
