I got blocked by David Coverdale from Whitesnake for whinging that he doesn't tour the UK enough, not realising that he had bad arthritis in his knees (which he's since had replaced). David, I'm sorry!!!

Visit other cities in England other than London, especially up North. We're a lot friendlier and more down-to-earth than our Southern counterparts. Visit York, the Lake District, Manchester, Liverpool... Judging England based on London is like judging the USA based on Los Angeles.… Read More

There's a persistent rumour that Party King Andrew W.K. is an actor, or has used a double, or is not the 'original' Andrew W.K. I have strong suspicions that most of these rumours are perpetuated by Andrew himself, who has long toyed with the concept of 'identity'.
