Billy Connolly disappearing behind a new block of flats on Osborne Street in Glasgow. This mural, based on a painting by John Byrne commissioned to mark Connolly's 75th birthday, was created in 2017 by Rogue One, but will soon no longer be visible. For now, just one eye remains, staring out from behind the new steel and concrete superstructure.

The legendary video of Billy Connolly's bit, "The Demands" was actually about his relationship with his audiences.

It however became the business anthem about cynical, transactional customers that treat partners & vendors as adversaries.
