Is that an update from your day because its definitely not the story behind Chris Rea's Xmas song??
I'm not sure what it says about me that when I read the news about Chris Rea's death, the first thing I thought about was this forum...
Found out today that he wrote the song Saudade as a tribute to Ayrton Senna. I remember the song being played over the end credits of the Senna tribute programme that the BBC did towards the end of 1994. Steve Rider presented it. I never knew that Chris Rea wrote it or that it was written specifically about Senna. I just thought it was a Brazilian/Portuguese song that the BBC had chosen because it was appropriate.

Am I alone in thinking that after a suitably respectful period, the Chris Rea thread might usefully be brought back up again to meander its eccentric way in ongoing tribute to its subject?

Perhaps you are? The guys dead, so should the thread.
As a mark of respect, let's not dig it up again.
Chris Rea may have heard all those slanderous rumours about him and his time travel machines, maybe he did, coz he sure had the right to take great umbrage against us all , and sue this forum into the bargain.

I sense you weren't overkeen on the thread in the first place.

Or, he might have read all the nonsense & stupidity, which was so far fetched as to be unbelievable, that he could have pinched the lot and written a best seller about all his time travel shenanigans

I do like to think that if Rea had seen the true facts thread hed have enjoyed a good chuckle as he waited for his solicitor to answer the phone.

I'm intrigued to find out how such doggerel could have caused Rea either a moment's upset, or indeed financial harm.

Quite the opposite! I actively joined in with the deconstruction of the artist formerly known as Chris Rea, thought the thread a great hoot!
Just think we should let him travel on his road to the other side, if there is such a place.
May he not wait too long for the little green man at the Pelican crossing.
R.I.P. Chris R.
