Re: Neil Aspinall (The Beatles)

yeah seen about him.also i did,nt know until last night that norman"hurricane"smith had died.he worked on a few of the beatles albums and floyds dark side of the moon,he also had some hit records as well namely "don,t let it die" "who was it"and"babe ,what would you say"apparently he died on march 7th aged 85.what makes me mad is there was no mention in the papers about him.i know he was,nt a superstar or anything but i think he could have been mentioned in the papers.but what really annoys me is you open the paper and you,ve got that nonentity docherty plastered all over it and a story about kerry katona going into rehab.she ought to literally f**k off to iceland. steve
