a m ole Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) He’s had such a hard life coming to terms with his disability, using it to give him a living but then the struggle of being a novelty, it’s quite sad. I remember seeing some interview, where he was talking more candidly than usual and it was very touching. Edited April 21, 2018 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me that in the chorus of their Nilsen song contains the words : "The drains were blocked with dead men's cocks..." I don't think it's a love ballad somehow.
