^ HaHa. This reminds me of what relucant schoolboys used to say in the '60s:
Why bother studying? The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know, so why bother studying?
More like Homer: "Marge, everytime I learn something new I forget something old! Remember when I drank all that beer and then forgot how to drive?"

Didn't know that, very neat.

This thread is lame and I refuse to give it the satisfaction.

Theorem: The less you know, the more money you make.
Postulates:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
Since Power = Work / Time,
Knowledge = Work / Money
Money = Work / Knowledge
As Knowledge approaches zero, Money aproaches infinity, regardless of Work.

But, just imagine him there (it was the MIDEM Festival in Cannes to be a bit more accurate)
with Tom Jones, Lulu, Moody Blues, P.J. Proby, and The Supremes.
It may have been interesting to see Procol Harum, Long John Baldry,
a pre-Spooky Tooth band that I can't remember the name of, and Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger's Trinity.
OK, I checked the DVD of the concert and it wasSpooky Tooth
and not their pre-SP band, Art, that played three tunes.
