Nick is a national treasure to many of us Brits - one of the great things that bridge our two nations! I can't wait for his next album - so many previous ones remain all-time favourites of mine.
Mr. Nick Lowe is definitely one of my favorite songwriters... it's a crime not to have him included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Cheers Nick... keep up the brilliant work!!!

Nick sounded wonderful, and he's also a great story teller.
Really enjoyed the segment today.
Nick, are you really as humble and sensitive as you are representing? You are tongue in cheek, after all.
Lovely version of Peace Love Understanding at the end...no anger in it...now I have to go play EC's furious version from when I was a teenager...

Cruel to be kind is one of those songs that will forever be ingrained in my mind. Catchy tune. Whenever I hear it, I can smell the olives and cold cuts from the Italian Deli where I worked in Brooklyn when I was a teenager. :)
Last year was the 30th anniversary of the only album as Rockpile. Would Nick ever consider a Rockpile reunion tour with the other original band members (who are all still alive - amazingly)...
Hello Mr. Lowe,
A friend of mine in Osaka, Japan, saw your recent live performance there and told me he really enjoyed it!
I am looking forward to today's show.
Sincerely,
Chie R.
