Friday 9th March                Joe Jackson

Many years later (2004 I think) I met the drummer from Joe Jackson's band.  Our paths crossed professionally for a while.  There are three things I remember about that - one is that his birthday was February 29th which meant he'd just celebrated his tenth (or somesuch) birthday, the second is that I lent him a David Byrne live video which he hasn't given back yet (... Dave?); and third we spent some time, on a boat, programming Is She Really Going Out With Him as the ringtone on his newfangled mobile phone (remember the Composer function?).  Funny old world.
