My friend Whispering Bob Harris played Money by Pink Floyd.
When it started I thought to myself “ooh it’ll be interesting to see how they get around this.”
Incredibly they played the whole song including the word ‘bullshit’ and on the BBC too.
I was shocked I tell thee. 😮
 
Hard work to replace JW on that Sunday afternoon slot , big boots to fill .

Gave Whispering Bob a few listens from the outset but slowly drifted away from his broadcasts on R2 .

Thought he was going down the Country and Western genre on my first few impressions on hearing .

Maybe he has changed his target audience or should , not tuned in the last few weeks though .

Is Bob your mate, Darran? You’ve told us about a few famous folk, not sure about Bob.
