    Really?! I didn't know that--and I thought I knew a lot about him.

What makes it so funny is that much of what happens is likely based on things that have really happened to touring rock bands.
    I agree with you, regardless of what some folks might say. There's a reason this movie was quoted so much.

    Does that mean Chuck Norris is the Tony Banks of martial arts?

    Or something like that.

Peter Gabriel was funny too, particularly when mentioning that while he was dressing up as "flowers and sexually transmitted diseases", Tony would change the pastel colour of his sweaters (or something to that effect). Even Tony himself was rather funny... saying when he was voted twelfth best keyboardist in the world, he replied "Who the fuck are the other eleven?!"

    I just watched this, and was cracking up all the way through. What's this nonsense about Tony not having a sense of humour?
