Not having lived or grown up in the UK, I really don't know anything about Mr. Savile. Nevertheless, RIP Jimmy.

BTW that first picture of him in the link you provided is how I think Geddy Lee will look in his 80s!

Now then, now then guys and gals...

I had the honour of running along side Jimmy for about half a mile in the '97 London Marathon. Cracking jokes, signing autographs, posing for photos...all whilst puffing on a cigar the size of a babys arm.

Consummate old-boy gentleman. And absolutely crackers.

What does it mean when someone is absolutely crackers?
