Ok, it sounds like a Beatles tribute, but if there is any song that a broad cross section of people would like, this is it. Personally I think Blow Fish and Six Pack are far more interesting (and a shame Geldof doesn't do a few more like them), but if any song would be played on Radio 2, Here's To You is the o...

Wonder what are the chances of Bobs album hitting the lower reaches of the album charts, ie the proper British album charts?
