(I even remember having read about it in '83) Perhaps that is the connection? -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 02 2003, 22:28 I don't like sport....   Mike did mention in one interview in the early 80's that he also like to be sponsored by Guinness, because he loved (and still loves) the beer.
