I thought Adam Ant was gorgeous - saying that I loved Mr T (from the A Team) just as much. Imagine sharing all that lovely gold jewellery with him.

Hi Crista I saw Big Country when they played at Wembely Stadium in london. They were supporting David Bowie in 1987? The Glass Spider Tour. They were brilliant, I loved the song In A Big Country.....It takes me back ! Elaine x

Ditto what Dawn said. Stuart Admason of the Skids went on to form Big Country, another of my favs. So sad when he commited suicide a few years ago. Had been to 6 of their concerts and felt like I had lost a friend. Crista
