Terry Jones, through Python, and before that Do Not Adjust Your Set, helped give people of my age an incalculably valuable gift, a form of comedy our parents couldn't, for the life of them, understand. It was ours; in the same way that our music was "ours".

Saw the Gang of 4 back in 1980. The 'Damaged Goods' EP was an important record for me.
RIP Andy Gill.
