Bear Grylls Quote

Trucker and I did quite a bit of busking together on our guitars, doing the rounds at various Bristol hot spots.This included the local old people’s home, where I remember innocently singing the lyrics to American Pie. The song culminates with the spectacularly inappropriate claim that this would be the day that I’d die.A long, awkward pause followed, as we both realized our predicament.The home wasn’t a long-standing gig after that.We also played together with another friend of ours called Blunty, who went on to become a worldwide singing sensation after he left the army, under his real name of James Blunt. I am not sure Blunty will consider those jamming sessions as very formative for him, but they make for fun memories now all the same.Good on him, though. He always had an amazingly cool singing voice.
