We are not worthy......a Madness musical, a west end smash (pun intended) most definitely.....So would it take Mamma Mia's lead and link an independent story using the songs, rather than be the story of Madness, I do hope so as much as it would be lovely to see the story of Madness live, I'm afraid it would have limited appeal to the general public. What do others think?? More thanks to Cathal for caring enough to share his thoughts with us. It's just this sort of attitude that keep's me a die hard fan, Cheers CJPS. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2000 11:23 AM Subject: [total-madness] Re: Total Madness Digest V2000 #479 > > Dear List Member's > > I hope you don't mind me dropping in but I have been watching the > conversation regarding the ghost competition and though it has been conducted > in a gentlemenly fashion I feel it incumbent on I to pour balm on troubled > brows.....so I think I will send both Andy and Vince a set of lyrics of a > velvet ghost song.
