I always thought the Bum-ba-bum-ba-bum backing vocals were slowed down on the album, but Andy's doing them live here.

I saw Fogerty about 8 years ago when he started playing his old Creedence songs again, egged on by his wife before the tour to do so. I remember he opened with "Born On The Bayou" and then "Green River". He had a swamp/bayou stage decoration theme. It was a great show. A live DVD from that tour was released. Michael B.

Bill Nighy is to play a giant squid-faced Davy Jones in the new Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Man's Chest. Yo ho ho...! What with that and the Guardian recently giving away a magnificent squid-themed wallchart, I thought it was time to post this: http://www.tonmo.com/ On a completely different note, can anyfeg recommend any good voice recognition software? I've been struck by recurring tendonitis in my right wrist and am fed up of having to type everything left-handedly. As a guitarist I don't want to end up ruining my wrist by typing too much, but I'm in the last months of writing up my thesis so I have no choice but to work, and am considering speaking the rest of my thesis into my computer instead of typing it! Any suggestions or comments would be gratefully received.

Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object. "Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan. "We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very very complicated situation." Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there. "When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said. "I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners." The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #154 ********************************
