A PBS pledge program with Russian Opera singer Nickolay Boskov had him singing "Yesterday" in front of a big photo of John Lennon and then stopped and said in russian that John Lennon wrote this wonderful song. I knew then that no-one was watching as no-one called in to say the guy is an idiot! bye, KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!! What's wrong with my back? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 18:46:59 -0800 From: paul kim Subject: top 10 of the year and other things I've written a lot of stupid stuff here over the years (holy cow, it's been almost 10 years that I've been part of this list), and I wanted to apologize to you all for that.

Pardon me if it seems as though I just crawled out from under a large rock, but can anyone tell me about the book _Waiting for Kate Bush_ (ISBN 1844494896)? One of my Edmonton-based fan friends mentioned that she's hoping to receive it for Xmas and that's the first I've heard of it -- although it was apparently released November 15. Any news to share? Thanks!
