I was surfing around ebay and naturally put "Oldfield" in as a search. One of the items that came up was an old French magazine entitled "Histoire du Rock 1975." On the cover it reads: "Mike Oldfield: Genie au ding-dong."

Uh...what exactly does that say? Here's the link, by the way (I hope it works):

"Mike Oldfield : GĂ©nie au ding-dong"
means "MO : the genius with the ding-dong"

Ding-dong is the (written) representation of the noise of (evry kind of) bells. For example there's a kid song (I think it's the equivalent of Brother John... we call him Jack (well, Jacques in fact...)) where you sing 'Ding Ding Dong' as when a monk ring the church bell. And when in a comic book, when some one ring at the door, "ding dong" is written.

Wow, this is a post for Tim Conspiracy (isn't it) ?

While in the past I've been referred to as "the genius of the ding-dong," they weren't talking about a bell...
