JP: "Earlier this evening Radio One at 7 o'clock did a tribute to Roy Orbison and (I) expressed a few opinions in the course of that. Before going into the studio to record it, which we did very late this afternoon, I put about a third of the festive fifty votes which I hadn't yet entered into the ledger in a large black polythene bag and left them in our Radio One office. I came back out after half an hour or so to find that the cleaners had taken it. I was chasing round the building trying to find where polythene bags full of rubbish went. Walters and I ended up scrabbling through a skip in a car park at the back of the building until we found your festive fifty votes. This is how devoted and dedicated we are cos if we'd just left them in there frankly, you'd not have known would you? But there you are, this is how thorough we are."

note to In Memoriam cataloguists - extended link where JP describes the media onslaught on him asking for his opinion on the death that day of Roy Orbison.
(JP refers to being worried about the state of Rap and Hip Hop music at the moment, saying he took satisfaction in breaking one into pieces with a sexist title (record was 'Treat Her Like A Prostitute' by Slick Rick), which had been sent to him by a major label. 'This one's alright though')
