Actually, I mopped the floors in CBGB's and was the bass player for Missing Persons!

It can be , and more often or not will definitely be.
But if something is significant, then that doesnt necessarily make it 
moving.
"Moving" is an extreme version of significant. Its a higher emotion.
Yes I am from London, not too far from Killing jokes old stomping ground.
Alex is also from Noi Yoik , but unless you are/were in a New Wave band or 
at least worked in CBGB's as the barman (Circa 1978-1984) then he probably 
wont want to know you .
Alex sent off for a t-shirt from Mike Coles record label and he received 
one with *Malicious Gossip* written on the front of it , instead .
