:ms_shooting_star: "Hello, Possums!" | #Aussie comedy legend #LarryHumphries—best known for his character #DameEdna—has passed. He's less well-known in the US than in Australia, Britain and Canada, but many of us not-straight US Americans have adored him for years.

"Debjani Chatterjee believes it is "a very good thing that the publishers are reviewing his work".

She told the BBC World Service: "I think it's been done quite sensitively. Take the word 'fat'. They've used 'enormous'. If anything, I actually think 'enormous' is even funnier."

Evening listening: All That - Eponymous Debut. I'm celebrating my release from covid quarantine with this lost classic from the '90s New Orleans funk scene, now on vinyl for the first time. Led by my pal Davis Rogan (vox/keys), with Alex McMurray (guitar), Kirk Joseph (sousaphone), Ben Ellman (sax), Wolf Anderson (t-bone) Kevin O'Day (drums) and a ton of special guests. Lots of good memories tied up in this one. RIP Kevin and Wolf!
