(sorry joe abell you have not been mentioned :-) ) Maybe someone should inform Carling about that fact (I tried to find www or email addresses from Carling but found only rubish! AND I also found no addresses from polygramTV, so if anyone knows please give them a hint ...

Duran Duran, Motley Crue, etc., who were on MTV quite a bit during that time. The jet airplane reference might have been an invention of Knopfler's, even if the rest of it was something he overheard. Tony B. PS: Any support in me releasing Live at the Roxy on CD? Some people think it is a good idea and some people do not think so.

I just read a letter which stated that when Gary met Sting, he told him quite frankly, that he hated him when he first came out in 1979. Why are there such negative feelings about Gary when he is really the first alternative star in the States to make it big? He basically paved the way for me to listen to the Flock of Seagulls, Haircut 100 and the rest of them which shaped my teenage years!! It is so frustrating today to see where the 80's band members have gone because they deserve so much more recognition. I look back fondly on the first days of MTV when they actually played stuff that wasn't RAP and R&B and it is incredible that someone like Sting could say something so crass to Gary. Hats off to Gary for being so forgiving to Sting and for being what I think of as the original alternative star. He deserves a round of applause and not anything less!!!

So who thinks that Adam Ant wrote Goody Two Shoes about Gary Numan? "You don't drink, don't smoke What do you do....etc...blah...warble" Cue scathing comments!!!
