Gareth, since you obviously don't like being photographed with your glasses on, why didn't you put them on one of those statues?

There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

Originally posted by Sam Flynn View PostSo do I - in fact, I'm a bit of a Wagner fanboy. Here I am outside his Festspielhaus theatre in Bayreuth in 2013, for the first installment of the Ring cycle:

Back for another installment of the Ring in 2015, standing in the hallway of Wagner's villa Wahnfried:

I've seen the whole Bayreuth Ring since, seeing the final part last year. A wonderful experience!
(And I mean that in a good way)

Originally posted by Sam Flynn View PostI mentioned the Beatles, who were very innovative, IMHO. I wouldn't say as much of the Stones; great as they were, they don't strike me as having been anywhere near as creative as the Fab Four.
I've always been fascinated by the English v American bands. We having nothing really to compare to the Beatles, stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd in terms of supergroups.
On our side who even comes close? The doors, Aerosmith, Metallica, The Beach Boys, ????? Not even close.
It seems the brits have the market cornered on supergroups, where as America produces more of the Super Star as opposed to the super group.
ELvis, Hendrix, Dylan, Janis Joplin, madonna, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, prince.
Who is England's greatest superstar? The only one who I can think of would be Elton John?

Talking about movies, I bumped into Francis Ford Coppola at last year's Bayreuth Festival. I stood up so that he could get to his seat, and we exchanged some brief pleasantries. Sadly, I'd had my mobile stolen the previous day in Nuremberg, so couldn't take a selfieLast edited by Sam Flynn; 04-30-2017, 09:27 AM.Kind regards, Sam Flynn

You look a little like Hugh Boneville, who was also rumeEd to play bilbo. Think he was a tad too tall.
Coppola directed my favorite movie. APocalypse now.
