Aye, me too.

Of course, we all know Gilmour is a Linux man.

Is it just me or does Gilmour look like Ming the Merciless in that photo?

That's quite an unflattering photograph. He does look like he should be on the FBI's Most Wanted list.

I also assumed this would be about the row of PowerBooks (or MacBook Pros?) lining the stage during Remember That Night. With their bright, lit-up logos at several points being the centerpoint of the shot. (I wonder how much Dave got in product placement money?)

I hear the whole '94 robot-light system was powered by a couple of PowerMacs, though. I guess I wouldn't trust anything the size of the TDB stage with Windows 3.x either.

And I thought it would be about 'Macs', well McCartney did have Apple! Brian May uses a Mac! Check out his blog.

David would want to make sure it is actually Mark Morrison he's meeting. A few years ago he had to do community service and sent along another guy in his place.

Aye, must have taken a while for anyone to notice though. Pity really, if he'd done community service then more people would have noticed his work than ever before :lol:

Actually he released an album last year but nobody cared about it. Had fellow washed up singer Gabrielle appear on it too

Oh yeah, she is partially blind, that means her music must be good and well above the level of critisism doesn't it

Poor music is poor music regardless of who makes it
