...metal riffs and reputation for insane live shows suggest. Instead, they radiate a kind of childlike innocence and excitement in person. During the songs, Chippendale wore a green ski mask with a voice-altering microphone taped inside, making his speech unintelligible. He looked like a character from a fantasy comic strip, while Gibson grinned sweetly...
...Cash songs are, then the heroic thing is to punch back. Cash, as a man and an artist, had the strength to see that bad times may be not a curse but a challenge. His biggest pop hit, the Shel Silverstein song A Boy Named Sue, might be considered comic frivolity for a man whose voice and choice of material more typically dealt in darkness.

There are precious few clues in the book, which is a hexagonal feat of memory, not self-analysis, though they rightly pay tribute to comic forebears such as Spike Milligan. The launch of Python was certainly a tribute to the laissez-faire latitude of the BBC's comedy department, which cheerfully commissioned 13 shows from John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin and Terry Jones - Oxbridge graduates working on the hit satirical shows...
