Marc's voice (sorry, mate) so I looked on the covernotes and they said =
'written by Johnson/ Almond' and 'all instruments: Matt Johnson', and I =
thought:'Gimme a break, this man wrote that song and played all the =

This was in 1983 I think and in a Marc & the Mambas concert programme I =

So...so...er...
Well frankly I am appalled that Matt Johnson had anything to do with Marc
Almond. I once had the extreme displeasure of actually meeting him and
was just...appalled. Yuk, the thought of him makes me shudder.
On top of that I got roasted for suggesting (on another music mailing
list) that Scandinavian tiny talent Yngwie Malmsteen (he makes albums
that consist of going twiddly twiddly on his guitar for 45 minutes at a
time) just pointlessly shows off.
Ooh. Marc Almond. Shudder. Yug.
Ooh, I'll be having those shuddery shivery thigs all day now.
Bye
Mark

Not much musical news but just mention your political views and we'll shoot it down in flames for a couple of weeks.
Good to have you back, whoever you are
