43:00 School kid asks him how he got involved with a group ( band ) . He replies ;
" I was teaching ( art ) and I got some mates who were musicians , all Jazz musicians , which means they got open minds to me , right .... "

'I sing out of tune and you play out of tune...'

.... which reminds me of another wordsmith with genius who sought out jazzers .

There is a line in Dury's " Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll " that goes :
" See my tailor , he's called Simon , I know its going to fit " which implies the value of trust .

Here is a bass player speaking about Gil Scott-Heron : ( 15:30 )

Great the way music links uo @DaveFry 

Some dodgy record company BS later in that video which is a shame. Will watch the whole thing later.
