RIP Pete Postlewaite

Pete may very well be best known, however anonymously, as the person speaking at the beginning of Chumbawamba's Tubthumping (I get knocked down, but I get up again...). It is a quote from one of my favorite movies, Brassed Off.

This band behind me'll tell you that that trophy means more to me than owt else in the whole world. But they'd be wrong! Truth is, I THOUGHT it mattered. I thought that MUSIC mattered. But does it bollocks? Not compared to how people matter. Us winning this trophy won't mean bugger-all to most people. But us refusing it - like what we're going to do now - well, then it becomes news, doesn't it?

Rent it if you havent' seen it. He is wonderful in it.
