The glasses and the moustache had a vibe about them.

Unfair and judgemental, yes, but that's the world these days, and it's a creeping and pervasive gloom that's spreading.

Dave Lee Travis was a few years ago, so could it be misremembering that? Wright had a strange persona, so I think he just gave some folks the heebie jeebies.
