Bonzo, Python, Rutle, wizard, and great musician:

A brilliant and very talented man made me laugh my socks of as a kid. RIP.

Oh man - what a bummer! He was a brilliant songwriter - listen to any of the Rutles stuff. Just fantastic - what a loss!

Just heard about that RIP

It’s so sad when a creative person, esp one who collaborated with and influenced many of my heroes passes.

Put on Do Not Adjust Your Stocking for the family last week (kids had never seen it, even Gilliam's legendary Christmas Card bit) and was struck by the sheer joy of Neil's performance at the piano trying to hold By a Waterfall together while falling about at the rest of the band's antics. His chords and lyrics page is a pretty amazing memorial: not just the Bonzos, Python, & Rutles canon but all those very strong songs from the solo years, especially the Innes Book of Records material. He'd approve of us massacring them in his memory.
