...yes , Florence Foster Jenkins or perhaps William McGonagall (the world's best worst poet).
It is not just the puerile assertions that started my giggling, but the inept prose style where an inability to construct logical arguments is overwhelmed by a poor grasp of grammar.
I found it helpful to assume the voice of Bluebottle when reading his (self published?) piece on RVW. It just added to the barminess of it all.
(Blubottle = classic comic character from the seminal British comedy The Goon Show as voiced by Peter Sellers).
God knows where he got his DMus from. I somehow doubt it was a kosher British music college.
