Rick Wakeman was interviewed - maybe on Desert Island Discs? - and the story went that within a short time of his enrolling at the Royal College of Music - no mean feat even to get there - his tutor told him there wasn't much point his continuing his studies there, because he already had everything he needed, he was better off out of school following his star.
So he did. 'Life on Mars' and everything else followed soon on.
Well done JWS, an excellent clue.
I'm more than happy to have been pipped at the post by the clue I voted for!
Thanks for your votes Chris, Peterm and JWS.
A good word choice SW and thanks for hosting.
I'll look at the clips tomorrow.
Congratulations to JWS and Cheers to Skyewalker for the challenge and the clips.
Thanks to Geevo41 and Nemo for your votes, and to Peterm and Aristo for the mention. (...and the earlier parse, Aristo)
Paul, I asked about your clue because I really liked the brevity and the idea of it.
Congrats JW! (I’m assuming those are the initials of your first names....)
Thanks SW, hopefully we’ll see you on a more regular basis again!
Thanks again for the vote KT and thanks for thinking of me Mattrom!
