No…. But higher than casual racism I suppose 

Their heyday was in the 60s. The Black and White Minstrel Show was prime time Saturday night entertainment. It wasn't right then and isn't now, but don't go back to the 60s looking to be offended, I'll tell you now, you will be. There's enough going on now to complain about.

This performance was in 1996 according to the video

Edit: What makes you think I’m offended exactly? Because I don’t like racism?

I did say their heyday, not their final performance before they died. Anyway, offended or not, you are going a long way back to find something to virtue signal. Cowan should've been sacked for his attitude to Eilidh Barbour, not his taste in long dead comedians.

It’s been recommended on a national radio station in 2022

Attitudes might have been different then, doesn’t mean it should be recommended today.

I think I said that in the first place "wasn't right then, isn't right now".

Did you go and listen to an Engelbert Humperdink album, or were you able to glean that he was shite without having to?

Cowan been binned? World Cup special tonight and Bradshaw’s on in Cowan’s place.

Maybe his new responsibilities with PLZ Soccer has given him divided loyalties 

Nah, he’s away on holiday somewhere. Mentioned it on the Sunday show.

You could think “maybe it’s a generational thing” about the crooner tunes. Then you realise Tam is 12 years younger than Karl Hyde from Underworld. 

Depends on if you believe Cowan is the age he says he is.

He looked like a 50yo at school...

If Cowan actually had to chose between the two, he’d happily leave Peter Martin and PLZ as quickly as he could. BBC is where he’ll earn his crust.

Guy in the studio to promote his book and discuss Euro 92

Tam: So how bad was it for you supporting Celtic in 92, let’s put it out to the listeners

Wit?

Tam has just called you a fanny on his instagram feed.

It would appear accurately.
