 KN> ObProg: just bought a CD with Peter Hammil on vocals,

 DM> Wow.  What did he get arrested for? 
 
        I think it was just marijuana. The London police were 
        after him to set an example for other punks, much as they 
        had been some years before with the Rolling Stones. At 
        the time the London Police were run by a right sodding 
        bastard by the name of, um, Kenneth Richard Newman, which 
        by what I must assure you is nothing more than an 
        infelicitous coinkadink is my name, too, except mine 
        doesn't have "Lord" in front of it. He went on to head 
        the police in Ulster, one of Thatcher's favourite thugs. 
        He also came up with the suss laws that had started all 
        those wonderful street festivals in Brixton, you know, 
        the ones with the all-night bonfires. 
 
 DM> Who plays bass and drums on the above benefit? 
 
        As if I care. What the CD says is that the following 
        people play on it: Robert Fripp, Basil Gabiddon, Wilko 
        Johnson, John Ellis, Larry Wallis, Steve Hillage, Pete 
        (sic, just wunnova lads, y'know) Hammill, Phil Daniels, 
        Nicky Tesco, Richard Jobson, Toyah Wilcox, Jake Burns, 
        and Nik Turner. 
 
        ObProg: didn't that Fripp guy used to play in a band 
        called Blondie? 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
