September 11: lasting impression

My Hero

For being a good guy, for saying what needed to be said and for entertaining us in the process – Bruce Springsteen (right).

My Villain

There have been so many. So many that I really don't want to dwell on this one. It's the season of good will.

My Low point

9/11 and all that followed it. And still follows it.

Best Invention

The self cleaning window sounds good.

Work of art/book/song

'The Banks are Made of Marble '– a song written by a New York apple farmer in 1950. It's 60 years old and spot on. Look it up.

If i could change one thing

The tone.

My happiest time

The mornings after a few all nighters in Holles Street. Three visits and four children. You do the math.

My greatest hope

The demise of the vulgarian.
