You'll piss yourself laughing - probably.
BIG 'EADS!
Len Barry - said he was going to be bigger than Elvis.
Crispian St. Peter - said he was going to be bigger than The Beatles.
One American, one British - Both had moderate success.
And Wendy James of Transvision Vamp said it's not a question of 'If' but 'When' she wins an oscar.
Does anyone know a film she's appeared in?

Survivor singer Jimi Jamison is dead. So, he's not a...forget it!
RIP
I loved Bill in Be-Bop and some Red Noise and I've got some odd solo stuff of his. But he keeps churning the stuff out.
Who wants one of these?

When I learned there were only 12 I thought they'd be an astronomical price but $500 is quite reasonable.
Ah - just read the small print. $500 is the deposit. They're being sold for $1895. Maybe not then........

An amazing singer - saw him solo a few years ago and was due to see him with Survivor next month. 63 is way too young (but seems to be turning into the new 27!).

Who else died at 63 lately?
Gerry Rafferty - but not recently.
Aah - Robin Williams,

Yep, those were the two I was thinking of (plus Fergie Frederiksen, but he was only 62 - my bad!).
The Nits concert was very good. The band is a cross between XTC and Wilco, so very arty, not exactly dirty ass rock n roll. So was the location, a concert hall made for classical concerts, with a beautiful church organ on stage. I was enjoying this a lot...oh dear, I'm getting old. 
Had the ultimate privilege to see ELO in Hyde Park yesterday...Mr Blue Sky..
Watching this Status Quo documentary.
I remember I won tickets on Planet Rock for their 40th anniversary (I think it was) tour and then Parfitt went and had a heart attack!
I decided to keep the tickets.
Looks like they're back on form. Oh that was released 3 years ago!
