The pathos is unimaginable

No Shock & Awe this week, out of respect for the tragic loss of Gene Pitney. Like so many men of his generation, taken before his time in a Cardiff hotel room. Did you know that Los Angeles is 1,461 miles by road to Tulsa? At a sensible and legal speed of 70 mph, and including stops for refreshment and fuel, that makes me almost exactly 24 hours from Tulsa.

The pathos is unimaginable.
