Thanks!
He sounds like a real hardcore fan, he says he went to 19 out of the 21 nights in London. I'm sure he must be on the .org, does anyone know his .org name?!
However, he said P became a witness in 2004, surely it was earlier than that, seeing as he and Mani had a JW wedding in 2001 and he met Larry back in 1996/7.

Yeah I thought that about the JW thing was a cool interview though interesting that he became a hardcore fan after hearing Wasted Kisses ! if you've gotta pay for things that you've done wrong I've gotta big bill coming at the end of the day- Gil Scott Heron

^ Yes, I don't know what his obsession is with that song...!!! It's OK but he's making out it's The Grand Progression or Rebirth of the Flesh or something....

[Edited 10/10/12 14:51pm] To be fair he would have had to have sat through the whole of NPS before he got to that little gem of a song !!  if you've gotta pay for things that you've done wrong I've gotta big bill coming at the end of the day- Gil Scott Heron

^ LOL. All relative I guess hehe One of my favs from that album is Until U're In My Arms Again...i find that more moving than Wasted Kisses...(which I can never tell if its loving or angry)

He appeared on Front Row previously when he reviewed the O2 shows (which, as I recall, was probably when his dislike for 'Cream' began, due to its regualar appearance in the main show setlist - usually coupled with 'U Got The Look'). ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

No, I am not Matt Thorne and I don't know if he has an account at prince.org. If I did know, I don't think I'd be in a position to share the information. Sorry, I can't help more.
