I'd not heard of Steve Harwell or his band Smash Mouth (wut?) but these songs from 1997-99 are very familar (from radio?) and very funky.

He died a couple of weeks ago, from the demon drink.

The musician, who struggled with alcoholism, was diagnosed with the heart ailment cardiomyopathy in 2013; and subsequently a neurological condition which affected his memory and speech.

For me he will always be ('79-'82) ...

I can still remember "Pack Up Your Troubles" ... and the haunting railway platform! (@ 1h11m)

It won't have aged well, but The Singing Detective opened my eyes to just how good TV could be.

1986 ... sheesh!

Only 56 ... 🙁

What made me go to the doctor and get a PSA test was that I passed blood in my urine. I got a test and ended up in the Royal.

You’ve got cancer, I’m so, so sorry. He said that I’d had it for maybe four years.

Sorry, Bobby, I thought you'd died years ago... my mistake. Definitely a part of my childhood though, as (while not a football fan at all) I do remember watching him and his pals winning a certain trophy many decades ago.
