It also mentioned that there was a massive onstage fight at another session between the original guitarist and another band member (I think it was Thompson). This was how Manzenara entered the fray. On another subject I was just thinking the last day about who my role models in life have been and actually they have quite a lot in common: As a boy it was Peter Davisons incarnation of Dr. Who, from I've been 7 years old its been Steve Davis (top Snooker player for those of you in the States) and over the last few years of course Bryan. All three are sucessful English gentlemen. It would be interesting if everyone could post there a list of role models. I also noticed that in my quite vast C.D. collection that I only have one c.d by artists outside Britian and that's Graceland by Paul Simon. Anyway it's just an idea for a chain.

My role models apart from Bryan have been: Patrick McGoohan, especially in "The Prisoner" and more recently, Noam Chomsky, especially as portrayed in the film "Manufacturing Consent".
