@thomdunn

the source of the Rickroll, Rick Astley

I’d say he’s the subject of the Rickroll, not the source of the Rickroll.

And he is, by all accounts, a good egg.

Oh, that is going to be stuck in my head all day, in the best way possible.

This has been Rick Astley’s year. His set at Glastonbury was great. The same band and singers as at Leicester, too.

Rick Astley has really turned out very well; what a top performer and a real personality. It also helps that he can look like Ron Manager at times; marvellous. I really appreciate the use of Pub Rock & Roll Endings #247 to close out the track.

Also, you know you are old when your favourite tunes and acts make it to Radio 2. I guess that, in a few more decades, they will shift to Radio 4.

Ah, one of those things nobody noticed when watching, but nerds leave as traps for other nerds.

I hope it links to a different Rick Astley track
