Thank you very much for your likes. Have you heard of Fad Gadget before, or did you like his name? He was quite brilliant, and made some truly great records... However, his subject matter was rather dark, and his live shows (I saw him twice) were ... Scary. There is a photo of him at a gig, in Germany, I think, and he has pulled part of the ceiling down! He always injured himself. At one gig, he cut himself, badly, on the drum kit, and continued for a while swathed in bloody bandages, until he passed out, and at another, tore both his Achilles Tendons jumping off the stage, and landing on some steps he couldn't see. He finished the gig sitting down. Off stage, he wasn't Fad Gadget, simply Frank Tovey, family man. I met him after the second gig of his, and chatted for a bit - he was a genuinely nice man. He lived only for his wife and kids. I was really saddened to hear that he had died suddenly, in April, 2002. Thanks again, you are very beautiful, and I hope to see more delicious pictures. Much love, xxxxx
