"i did meet him on more than a few occassions"
I would have loved to have met John McGeoch. He is second to only one
guitarist and we all know who he is.
Saw him play with Magazine a couple of times in half empty venues.
Never discovered what caused his death at such a young age.
"playground twist"
Top track and ecellent, as are the rest, on the Voices On The Air sessions
CD.
Brian.
