Sad news. Neil Innes has died.  I met him years ago at some tribute to Monty Python at the Directors Guild--I asked him about one of his songs, "When Does A Dream Begin?"

Innes was a founder of the Bonzo Dog Band, who had some success in the 60s--particularly with the song "I'm The Urban Spaceman"--and make an appearance in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film.



He also worked with future members of Monty Python, so when Python became a thing, he contributed to both their show and their movies.



In addition, he worked with Python member Eric Idle on Rutland Weekend Television where they created The Rutles.
