First, a big "Yay!" to Ooon's grandmother, who has memories of elephants. Sorry I haven't replied before, I'm mean-spirited. But I'm sure I speak for the whole list when I say it'll be great "getting to know you, getting to know all about you". Second, a big "Yay!" to Bethey's mum. It must be fantastic to have the fabulous Joe Strummer shout such a lovely thing at you. I like Joe Strummer, not because of the Clash, but because of "Mystery Train", where he proves himself to be a very capable actor. "I mean, I don't call you two Sam and Dave, do I?" Classic. I liked Big Country too. The twelve inch mixes were particularly impressive, bringing out the full magnificence of Stuart Adamson's "SHOUT!" Why do I think that message was a trick to try and "out" Big Country fans? The tape had extra tracks. I could draw that compass logo. I now own a tee shirt with that very logo on it, but all references to Big Country cunningly removed. They went downhill with "Steeltown" which was a load of rubbish about Scots in...oh dear, I've forgotten the name of the place...something like Croydon, but not Croydon. Not to worry, seems like a good time to shut up. Peter "Like a lover's voice on a mountainsiiiiiiiiiide" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
