I read in the music press in a m*****n interview, that they all started wearing hats after their first visit to the states in 1984.Quiff Boy wrote:according to eye witnesses from back in the day, the hat came into common use when von had a hair dying accident circa 84. he fried his hair and it all started coming out in huge clumps.
during this period of hair re-growth he had a habit of wearing a baseball cap when around and about town, presumably when situation called for him to be less "dressy"...

again I haven't been here for 100 years (and not due to lacking interest or good feelings but due to that god damn social life due to which I haven't had enough sleep or rest recently) and I see you have had a contest.
of course, moron as I am I knew only some answers.
what makes me still wonder: what's the right answer to the film question

How strange to see this back ... I was searching through old PMs only earlier this week trying to track down the links to that James Ray live album and came across some messages between you and I. I scored 12 in your quiz, and have an email saying I'm next in your list, sorry for the terrible delay in getting things sorted.
