Lorreta Swift was best known as "Hot Lips" Houlihan from the TV show M.A.S.H. What a great name. Yet another very funny half hour comedy show from America: Where are they these days?

His music was played all over the world in the 60s and 70s....Good Vibrations and Californian Girls are often quoted in the top 50 best songs ever recorded. But he's in a better place now, he had been struggling with ill health for many years. RIP Brian Wilson.

He will be remembered by older brits everywhere, the changes that came to pass under
Thatchers government were hugely supported by Tebbit.

Suppose, nobody else will remember him or care about him, if your not an older Brit.

I'm neither old (?) nor a Brit, but I remember him, especially after the Brighton bombings, poor man.
