Could that have been a reference to their cover-band days?
Does anybody have the scoop on any time the boys may have spent in London or if the town has any significance (Other than being a major University town: which may have been a hotbed for them when they were the "it" band at Queens in 85/86) to the bands history?

Thanks. Although it would appear those Scrooge-like rat Bastards over at Quebecor's online division have decided I'll have to pay $10 to read the thing! Do they know what else I could get for $10 online... geez, who pays $10 to see something they don't have to clean-up from afterwards?
