Very good question, "Send it to me"! Wasn't it Charlie who said that he wanted a real hit, and that "Start me up" was the last one? I know that the mediasituation has changed drastically in Western Europe as well as in North America. But I think there are things like radio hits. And I think that they (radio hits) still has a purpose to fulfil; namely create an interest ar

Gazza: So you mean that Queen Silvia of Sweden or Queen Sonja of Norway aren't queens but Queen Concsorts? That is simply not true. The first part of Sicilian's post is right. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's spouse is Prince Consort of Denmark (the same arrangement as in Great Britain).

Didn't get the confirmation either. Perhaps it will arrive in a couple of days? The odds on actually winning is probably 1-10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000!

We say (in Sweden) penibel, it means awkward or embarrassing in the word of english. Is it true it has a french origin? By the way, this was my hundred post: What's the incentive for going for 500?

Oddly enough, I always liked The Prince of Wales, the "tampon incident" put me off for a while, but he seems well-spoken and has some class. That old lady (the Queen) is to aloof, for my taste at least. Perhaps not for her English subjects? The kids are, of course, spoiled little brats, "like kids are now...".

These upper-class discussions are refreshing to me. I remember a french mutualist philosopher and politician who said: Property is theft! But now we are getting too political, aren't we? His name was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, by the way.

Atlantic City 1989. It is often the ppv-videos that are the best. My favourite concert videos from 1980-2010 are: 1) Hampton, 1981. 2) Atlantic City, 1989. 3) MSG, 2002 (second disc on "Four Flicks"). If you have those, you don,t really need anymore. It's a shame though, that "Hampton" only exists as a boot.

Congratulations to IORR editor and fellow Scandinavian, Björnulf! Can't remember when when I first scrolled into this page. I remember reading small essays on The Rolling Stones by a guy called "O´tonneau" or something. From then on I put this page in my favourite list. Never subscribed to the IORR magazine though (i had a fanzine called "Beggar's Banquet", which was

From what I hear, Elton is number 23 in line to become Queen. Dame Edna is number 16 and someone called Brenda is number 56 in line. So who knows it might be Elton!

Well, there is a more sober way to look at this too. What can we really expect? They are all pensioners (except Ronnie); they haven't played together for approx three years; Keith has undergone a brainsurgery, Charlie a throatcancer operation, Ronnie is a cronic alkoholist, Mick's voice is getting more and more nasal and so on, so on... . Perhaps mediocre version of the warhorses, click

That clip is from the Swedish TV-show "Måndagsbörsen". Probably from 1983. The inteviewer and host of the show is the very excellent Jonas Hallberg. Used to love that show. It had great live-bands (it was aired live), good interviews and all in all good entertainment every monday (måndag). I miss this kind of TV-entertainment, it's rarely seen these days. Instead you get all kind o

It seems that UK still has a grip on the old colonies (even USA). There is very much interest in the british royal house, none at all in continetal europes (or Scandinavia) royal houses. I remember when our viking kings used to rule Britannia! Do you remember King Magnus or Knut The Great, or even the battle of Stamford Bridge?

Wouldn't mind the warhorses at all if they: a) distributed them better in the show (not all in the last 1/3) b) played fewer of them c) played them differently than before (try to ignite some spark in them!) d) kept them short (maximum 5 minutes a song).

To keep this "neoclassical" thread alive: How about if we scrambled together for some x-mas-presents for Mick and Keith; advanced singinglessons for Mick where he can learn that the best technical way of singing is not through your nose! Very advanced guitar-classes for Keith where he can learn that it is okay to skip a note here and there but not all of them!

Gazza: I didn't mean to be sarcastic! I really meant what I said: there are some very beautiful looking british girls out there. I can't speak for all of them though! I never said anything about Hollywood. I used to have some american channels on my cable-TV, what struck me was the fact that so many of them (american tv-Women) were false blondes!
