Janet should die a awful death I be happy for what she said about Kenny. I'm too young to remember him on tele but enjoyed the repeats, documentries and radio shows which can be downloaded.
Love his controversal campain true genius and true Kenny but I remember his death and my parents were upset about it as true fans they are.
Shame that a man who didn;t have many partners caught the deadly disease just on one incident. I know he had a difficult time with his homosexuality and was very depressed by it. Even his ex wife said he could make anyone feel depressed when he was down.
RIP Kenny.
Reg Prescott is a gross classic

I did love Kenny on morning radio when I had to get up to go to work.
but it was a long long time ago.

I think most if not all of Ken's shows are out there on 'unofficial' DVDs, Teddy. I agree he was a great broadcaster (and, unlike most DJs today, he really could cope with the technical side of radio, too).

Last week I won a Kenny Everett tape. From 1981 it had David Essex, David Bowie and Moody Blues playing in the studio.
It was Brilliant!
Kenny pushed the bounds and the whole show is perfection. Hot Gossip, Marcel Wave and Sid Snot all making up for true entertainment. It showed up modern TV in a bad way.
What a shame that copyright issues prevent the full release of the shows. The only way to see them is on 1/4 century old videotapes.
Kenny Everett is a national treasure UNLIKE JSP.

Hamlet wrote: Well I've just read Janet's article and I found it rather amusing. I don't think she meant her Kenny Everett comments to be taken as relating to AIDS. Rather the article was about taking pleasure in revenge.
I think Hamlet, doing a little dance around the table upon hearing of Kenny's death could be taken as her finding pleasure in him dying.
It's a typical Janet article where she yet again tries to be completely outrageous and fails miserably. Once it would have ensured outrage..now she will simply be ignored.
