    actually we're talking about ken stringfellow here, who was a full member of the posies and big star. with r.e.m. he's only involved as a side member... sure, you can never know what'll happen, but i wouldn't stack my hopes too high... ;)

    It's not just Ken stringfellow, but it's that Bass player guy aswell!! I'm not a big REM fan, but I sure know what that Bass player dude looks like.......what's his name. And they both were sayin there's an after show party with U2, after a special appearance by Bono and the Edge.

    Dont ask me how I know this. Lets say I eavesdropped

    The gig was truly excellent and Mike Mills (for it is he of whom you speak) was indeed there, but he didn't play.

    mike sang, from whereever he was sitting (think i saw him on the balcony) i herad him slag ken once, then he sang some harmony on god only knows (wasn't it amazing?!) and he whistled on moon river. i thought i had heard him, and afterwards i actually asked ken if it was him, and he said yes...

    The Venue still made a loss of 300 euro, or should I say the promoter. And I thought me leaking the news would have the place stuffed. Ah well, bet yer all sorry now.

    Man, offcourse it happened, what are you talking about monkey boy! Bono brought the house down and the Edge....well...needless to say, he had had us all on one. Oh, and who'd a thought David Bowie would turn up. Jesus Monkey, you missed a good one. God I bet you're pissin in your boots about missing it! Well dont worry, I'll keep you well informed if there's another celebrity binge. ;)


    Back to front.

    U2 don't have much unique music, which is true, but REM rock. Except for 'up'. and 'reveal'. Which are relatively ****e. Listen to anything before those two albums, and you're on a winner :)
