What's weird is that, as you're probably all aware (:-), I'm not from
England either, but I'm one of the people who *did* know who Blackstar
was. heck, I even went up to tony and shook his hand upon finding out
that's where he was from. Fortunately, I think we were both drinking
at the time. :-)
As a Dr. Who fan, and member of the Paul McGann Estrogen Brigade (long
story if you don't know it already...), I have been made *very* aware
of Blackstar. Many people I know are rabid Blackstar advocates, as
it's one of the few places they can get their weird, obscure videos
that Paul McGann appeared in that no one ever heard of... :-)
Quite frankly, if I had PAL equipment, I'd probably go broke ordering
stuff from them... :-)
