It is indeed very sad news....and it's also the second time he's died!

As soon as I saw this thread (and other comments on peoples' FB pages today) I thought "Hang on a minute...I'm sure he died a few weeks ago!", which, at the time, prompted me and my mate (who were working late) to send Super Radio the following email:

Poss for a song request pls? Can you play a dedication to the late George [sic] (which I think my mate was later that night) Rafferty - 'Baker Street'?

Cheers and keep up the good work!

I'm sure Super Radio can confirm this (email sent 19 November 2010 22:08)...how very bizarre!
