Chris De Burgh

They both went to the same public school, but Nick Drake wouldn't let Chris De Burgh join his band because Chris was 'too short'. Just imagine: in another world, Chris could have been the tortured, dead genius and Nick could be here peddling MOR schlock like 'Don't Pay the Ferryman', 'High on Emotion', 'The Lady in Red' and the rest to women of a certain age.
