    I've mentioned this in other threads:

    If you would have told me in 1984 that a member of Kajagoogoo and a member of Led Zeppelin would one day play together, I woukld have laughed in your face

    I know next to nothing about Tori Amos, so I don't know if this is ironic or not.

    I saw both the Zooma and Thunderthief tours. Those shows were fantastic.
    If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

    Peter Gabriel & David Jackson (VdGG), 1979. Jaxon was a member of the Peter Gabriel Band in '79

    The Charisma All-Stars. When Charisma launched the first Monty Python album, they held a little soiree and celebrated with a football (soccer to us Americans) match between the Pythons and the Charisma All Stars. Peter Hammill (bottom right) was the captain. The team also included Phil Collins (top left), Paul Conroy (bottom left; Charisma staffer who went on to become a very heavy hitter at Virgin) and two members of Capability Brown. The Charisma All Stars defeated the Pythons and accepted the prize of the Golden Y-Fronts!

    Peter Hammill (center) speaks to L Shankar (back to camera) as guitarist David Rhodes looks on. Stewart Copeland on drums, Peter Gabriel on keys. Larry Fast took the pic. This was a rehearsal for the third night of the '82 WOMAD fest; this lineup played on stage that night.

    Johnny Rotten with his idol Peter Hammill after VdG's last London gig before they broke up, at the Marquee Club, 1978.

    Photo posted by Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) who was at the Peter Hammill / Gary Lucas concert in London a few weeks ago. Other celebs who were there include Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and B J Cole (famed pedal steel player). Chrissy still looks great, and posted this on her Facebook page: "Hey look! It's me with the legend known as Peter Hammill after his show at London's Union Chapel last week where he enthralled fans with new songs performed by himself and that other legend, Gary Lucas. It really was duelling guitars all round creating a strangely surreal/sci-fi like atmosphere in the beautiful surrounding of the arched, blue-lit geometry of the dome. (Yes, I sound like I'm writing it up for the Guardian or the NME but IN FACT - for your eyes only my FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK.) Good gig it was."

    When I heard in the 90s that the drummer from Mr. Mister was joining King Crimson, I thought Fripp must have lost his mind. He knew better than I, obviously.

    Brian May and Tangerine Dream was unexpected, to say the least.

    Not actually that strange. Elvis was a big fan of Tricky Dicky. In fact, they both were.

    I saw that tour when they supported Crimson, JPJ was excellent, have to admit to being stunned when I found out who the big bassist in the kilt was.

    For me the most unexpected was seeing Paul Rodgers fronting Queen.

    I know someone who considers Paul Rodgers the #1 vocalist of all time in rock music. we've agreed to disagree.

    Not unusual to see these two together; just never thought it would be on a TV game show... with nametags...

    ... which I think should have read "FRIPP" instead of "ROBERT"...
