Cheers Mr,

When you consider the mainstream was ABBA and Kool & The Gang and lots of lycra about to happen - Alex had a certain raw theatrical attraction that was different to the Iron Butterfly type headbanging.

But then I was playing Band on the Run a lot too.

Hmmm - It's a long time since I wrote anything for Rip It Up - I might have to do some stuff I reckon.

Did you know I wrote the Editorial (I'm not worthy) in this month's Kiwi Rider and talked about Beethoven?

Rock on.

Wow. That list is the sublime to the ridiculous and back again....I even see the mighty 'Tull creeping in there.

Can't remember what I was listing to back then - probably the Wombles or something, I was only three...
