Coffeebreak, reading a book!

Just wanted to share this while having a coffeebreak in between mix-adjustments. I had quite an unusual meeting last week with a chap called Simon Napier-Bell. Doesn't ring a, erm... Bell? Well, to be short; he wrote "You don't have to say you love me" By Dusty Springsteen (in itself enough to be immortal.), managed The Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, T-Rex, Jeff Beck, Japan, Wham! and what not. I will spare you the gory details of the meeting (well ok, we finished three bottles of Pouilly Fumé at The Hotel Americain in Amsterdam, after which I had to go on to play a festival. It was either sober up or stay on the lucid vibe; I chose the latter.), but he gave me his book "Black Vinyl White Powder" and I'm halfway through it now... It's a must read! Brilliantest insight in the history of European pop-culture, Stones bio's, Beatle whatnot ever! Bye, JB.
