 Paul Gambaccini on Bob's 'neo cool' status: Well, that means that having once been the symbol of cool and then, unfortunately, the symbol of passé. You are now officially the 20th century hipster. Your knowledge and enthusiasm for music are needed on the radio more than ever. |

 Dave Lee Travis: In all the years I've known you, whenever I've come into a studio to have a chat with you, I've never seen anything less than a warm approach from you and a big, broad smile and we've always had great conversation. That's what I love about you. But I have to say also what I hate about you is that when we have those conversations I leave the studio and I keep thinking I'm going prematurely deaf.
It's a good evening for you and you deserve it my friend. |
