I know I give him a lot of shit
And wouldn’t if I didn’t think he could take it
But he can
And usually laughs harder than anyone else
You know what my favourite thing about Holly is?
Watching the kind of friend he is to Dad
In this business you meet a lot of people
Many, particularly in Dad’s case
Aren’t around you for the right reasons
It’s important to sort the arseholes from the real mates
Holly may work for Dad
But first & foremost, they are friends
Their respect for each other is constant
They were friends before Holly became Dad’s tour manager
And they’ll be buds long after Dad retires
(like THAT’S ever going to happen)
They’ll probably have adjoining rooms in the old people’s home
God help the nurses in that joint
They’re like an old married couple sometimes
Finishing each other’s sentences
Telling secrets & giggling
They make each other laugh
I think the fact that their personalities are polar opposite to one another
Is what makes it work
Holly’s very sensible
Dad – not so much
Dad loves to shop
Holly fucking hates it
Dad has hair
Holly’s bald
I could go on & on
Dad has 4 brothers
You could count Holly as his 5th
Brothers from another mother, as they say
Holly’s mother obviously had legs
Holly. Top bloke, great host, excellent tour guide, f**king legend. Hope we can repay his kindness one day 🙂
(you know where to send the cheque mate!)
A great mate is worth… well they’re just gold!
Hello to Hollywood and to your Da’.
Travel safe.

Nice blog! 🙂
I would just like to say that Hollywood IS one of the nicest people I have EVER been fortunate enough to meet. He is a top bloke & a great mate to have. Kev! you are one lucky bastard to get to work (&relax) with Hollywood. All the best mate.
Cheers,
