Tony Blair -- closet looper????

OK.  Is anyone from GIBSON reading this?  Are you looking for a way to get
some cool EDP publicity?

Please send British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair, a Black Les Paul and a
complimentary EDP so that he can follow in the cross-picking footsteps of
the guitarist he admires so well.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3013125.stm
"The opening cut 21st Century Schizoid Man is, reportedly, the PM's top
track because of its outrageously complex guitar solo by the group's 
founder
Robert Fripp (husband of the now famous-again jungle-dweller Toyah Wilcox).
As any fool knows, it was the drumming on the track by Michael Giles that
was really amazing."

And then there's this from The Guardian, a British newspaper:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,950556,00.html
"Mark Ellen, who 33 years ago played with the prime minister in the Oxford
student band Ugly Rumours, disclosed on Radio 4's Today programme yesterday
that Blair still loves Free and King Crimson."

What kind of world are we coming to with with TT Top being Mr. George 
Bush's
fav rock band, and Free and King Crimson Mr. Tony Blair's favorite bands??
