Hope you like my rendition of the TWAT 

I first met John at the funeral of the great train robber Bruce Richard Reynolds. A strange setting, maybe, but it showed me the circles this man’s words travelled in — across poets, rebels, dreamers and outlaws. I spoke with him a couple of times after that, and what struck me most was his genuine, down-to-earth northernness. No airs, no pretence, just sharp wit and truth delivered like only he can.

A true cultural force. Respect always to the original Punk Poet.
