I've long suspected that Moddie,DD and the Prof were an utter disgrace, but this just is incredible, although to be fair G has sat on the prog table many a moon ago.

I don't know about that. Most of the times he looked like the bloke on the cover of Aqualung.

Aren't The Fall considered "Dad Rock" these days? Most of their admirers aren't exactly in the first flush of youth.

Most of their admirers are indeed middle-aged.

But 'Dad Rock'? not really
