That hat...

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Is there a story behind the mis-shapen hat Andrew wears in the Wake video? I get the impression it never left his head, much like those sunglasses that still don't get taken off. I want a hat just like his when I'm out there on the golf course!

Is that the same hat that Wayne is supposed to have commandeered after the break-up, or a different one?

(I remember AE moaning in an interview from '86, I think...)

I can understand why Wayne would want the hat. Something about it. If Wayne hasn't got it, I suggest asking around amongst Nephilim members.

I remember reading an interview with Craig, where he said that when they first went to the USA they all got steaming on vodka on the plane, and once in the limo/taxi to the hotel/venue Wayne passed out and fell asleep with his head in Gary's lap, but Gary ended up throwing up all over wayne. So since then Wayne's always worn a hat!

:urff: ;D

Maybe it's a magical hat of spew-protection. If so, let me know where you can get one, please - we're now 38 weeks pregnant and counting...

It's from Las Vegas, or so I was told. I don't remember the prize exactly, but 25 quids sounds familiar.
