Groundhog Day

Ever get the band that Dave Grohl formed when Nirvana split up with the one that played Sun City AND Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday party. No, not Kings Of Leon.

It's an easy mistake to make, as this footage from Hyde Park shows - was it from last night or two years ago - answers on a postcard (from Henley) please.



As for Brian May, who managed to elbow his way into most of the Mandela evening I notice, I think this story from (told to me fist hand by one of my ex-gilfriends) speaks volumes. Having accompanied her dad to see 'We Will Rock You' at the Dominion in Cental London, she discovered one Brian May sitting in the seat in front of hers.

Respectfully waiting until the main part of the show was over, with the pre-curtain call applause ringing out, she leant forward and discreetly asked him for an autograph for her dad. He disappovingly shook his head and replied:

"Not now love, it's showtime."
