To be totally accurate, it was a steam-powered dildo Egil! EMI don’t know shit from shite,which is why they let Deep Purple simply drift off the label…doh!

I’m glad to see that the guitarist for my all-time favorite band brings wisdom and intelligence to the column!

Heep should do a tour documentary like Maiden’s Flight 666, that would be so cool! Really interesting to see what goes on during a tour, on and off stage and during days off.

As for the special condoms for 12 year olds in Switzerland, I think that might be a good idea for the UK too! Maybe Mick doesn’t realize that his own country has the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in Europe, and that the kids having sex and getting pregnant are getting younger and younger…

In any case, another great column!

I have all their cd’s and the very best Super audio cd in the world : Gaucho. You never heard a better 6 channel sound…..oh maybe pink floyds Dark side of the moon SACD version might be slightly better…

I love to read that my favorite guitarist likes the same music !

Cheers,

Louis

Just a note re. you section on Steely Dan: Becker and Fagan may have parted in 1980 but they are back with a vengeance i na new version of Steely Dan that have toured as late as last summer. I saw them at The Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Charlotte, NC a couple of years ago and they were fantastic. Hint: consider booking this venue for your US tour this spring! I mention Steely Dan as I had sent you a recommendation for a drummer to replace Lee when he had to give it up. This drummer was a session and guest drummer for the tour who was amzing to listen to – sort of a combination of Neil Peart and a younger Billy Cobham. As it turned out, you did make a good choice in Russell but I wonder what direction the band would have taken if you had chosen Keith Carlock. Keep up the great work and we’ll see you in the USA!
