Hi there

        Just browsing through some recent Rolling Stone stories I downloaded
        through Pointcast and one of the stories reports on an chat David
Bowie
        held on his Internet service on his birthday (Last Friday) and
there's a
        mention of Bono in it. Nothing much, but this is what was said.

        "Bowie revealed that he's in regular touch with U2's Bono ("He's a
very
        nice guy and always sends
         me rather lovely books. And I recommend paintings to him."), but
not
        whether he has plans to work with the singer."

I just listened to David Bowies "Low" for the first time in years, and was
amazed at the similarities between it and "Passengers". Low was one of
Davids early collaborations with Brian Eno, the "Berlin" years. Highly
recommended if you even slightly liked Passengers.
On another note, "J", Iron Maiden were never satanists, infact Steve Harris,
their driving force, seems to hold more christian views, if any. Next you'll
be telling us AC/DC means AntiChristDevilsChild. Oh for the school
playground rumours!

See you
Aaron
