Rockingham really *should* have been a major success - the facilities for spectators there are incredible, they make Silverstone look like the rancid dump that it is! However staking its fortune on Champcar racing just as that series passed its peak and started to be eaten into by the IRL doomed it.

His surprise at the annual 200K bill for 'Fresh Fruit & Flowers' shows his almost total ignorance of the music business. This is a good thing, cos the sooner EMI and the other dinosaurs become extinct the better. I for one will take great delight in dancing on their bloated, drug ridden corpses.
