I may be wrong but I think he also covers Rescue Me on his forthcoming I'm The Greatest Singer Of The 20th Century album. As a grudging fan of the goatied cottager I wouldn't be surprised if his Where or When (if you don't know your wherabouts George you could always ask a policeman) wasn't rather good. Avalon trivia : I come from the same London suburb (Radlett) as George and, briefly, did a newspaper round for WH Smiths at the same time as him. He was a plump and poorly complexioned 14 year old.

About the Bryan/Speakeasy interview, it was great. Don't know if Bryan really doesnt like giving interviews, but he was very polite and amiable. He answered everything asked even dealt with "Jerry Hall" question. The woman asked what he thought about the JH/MJ breakup and he kind of said what comes around goes around. Said he was listening to old roxy stuff in car with his sons and one of then said "Hey dad you should put this out it's great" and he replied " I did in 1974!!" It was too cute! Didnt say what song though. Said hopes to have new cd out by fall of next year.

During Saturday night's BBC Radio 2 broadcast a number of priceless items were removed from the set list causing a great deal of distress to the listening audience. These included: An almost unique version of the song 'Bittersweet' Collectors say an article this rare has not been seen in over 20 years. A priceless and irreplaceable copy of 'Sunset' senselessly removed from its rightful place A remarkable example of the song 'Casanova.' which was acclaimed at the time is also absent. Even the presenter of the show was removed and replaced with a cheap reproduction. Thankfully the person responsible for this needless theft did not have time to remove some of the other valuables, such as exquisite versions of 'The Only Face' and Avalon. A painstakingly renovated version of Jealous Guy was thankfully also saved. A number of familiar works were left untouched save for some light restoration. Unfortunately a dated version of the song 'Love is the Drug' which was asking to be removed was not taken. The perpetrator of these senseless crimes is believed to be last seen wearing a BBC t-shirt. We can only hope that these exquisite works of art may one day be returned to their rightful audience. Leaving your valuables in the possession of the BBC can result in distressing losses of this kind. You have been warned!

First, thanks to this mystery list member and I will respect the request not to speculate as to who it might be. But I must be in the stupid part of my Fortuna cycle, because I don't understand the seeming subtext of an implied threat in this request.
