there were some occasions when he wasn't a gent at all (eg running off with Don Letts' girlfriend), but generally, yes, those who've encountered him tend to speak highly. Certainly gave me the time of day, which he didn't need to do at all. I heard later that after I went home he helped band shift their equipment into the van, then realised their flightcases were old Clash ones that'd been sold on the never never by some dodgy roadie!
