That's the title (food for pshychiatrists) of the big one page article on Mike in a dutch newspaper last sunday (first time a sunday paper could please me ;))

It was a very revealing interview, which started by the writer saying how good mike looks. It's got also a bit about mike saying Richard B. calling him last week. He's been a good mate from the past he says, and they trust each other for richard knows a lot about mikes painful past, with his mum etc.
Then he says about his love life. About his ad in the swedish and english newspaper, and about him flipping, going nuts a lot of times, he mentions 1994. Since then he says he's been standing on a cliff number of times, thinking about just wanting to drown and there being the ad in the news next day. He's also told about his happiness of finally having horses and motorbike, because his then wife didn't like it. Also that he say's he'll always remain the man who made this famous lp in 1973. he says he's starting to appreciate his succes now a bit. And he says he last went completely nuts and smashed the place 2 years ago, until the police came. And recently he left drugs alone and seems to cope better with things.

Not a lot mentioned about Light and Shade though, and platinum. Its just said that it's new, and the interview itself don't go further into that subject. Still it mentions the book.
Hope this was some help to the non dutch people here (quite a lot of them ;)) hahahhaha

See you mates


:cool:

Edit: forgot to say: I remember there being an article by Inkanta, in which she was translating something and I was maybe going to do some translationwork too... I can't remember getting an email notification on that subject after that, and I forgot the thread title... so is that still going, that article... or is it past?

Mmmmmm....indeed. I emailed it to you a little while ago (i.e., within the last half hour) . I just haven't been home long enough to get much accomplished. I'm on the road again, and my weekend was virtually non-existent.

Re: the interview transcript....it would have been better to have attached it as a Word document, so let me know if you don't receive, or if you do get it but it's truncated. The last line should read, 56:"32 [Ends]." BTW, the Word count was 2,677, so far. Based on my initial transcribing, I didn't think it was going to take so long to accomplish, but the clean up was slow-going and it's still not perfect.  I deleted some of the "you know's," "ahh's,"  "ummmm's," etc. without damaging the flow too much. :)

Hmm... it was in a usual newspaper, so it's hard to let you see the total thing... but I can see what I forgot to translate and give that too, here :)
I'll do that this evening, I think :)
