Allot of us old timers will miss InfoWorld.  I can still remember educating Nick Arnett on the difference between RGB and NTSC.  A year later he was a multimedia expert, analyst and consultant.

  1. I first saw Patti Smith in 1979 at the Reading Festival. I climbed over the fence into the backstage area and waited for her to emerge. Never saw her though.
    A couple of years ago I went to see her perform the entire Horses album on its 25th anniversary in London. A-ma-zing. At the Festival Hall in London, huge hall. I was bopping around halfway back up the seats, the bouncers wouldn’t allow us down the front where a riot was going down. Suddenly Patti left the stage to the right. A melee down the front. I ducked in with the bouncers who all ran across to the right. Sudenly I saw her, climbing up through the seating towards me. With perfect anticipation, I climbed onto a seat and she appeared right in front of me. I stretched out my arms and shouted ‘I love you Patti’. She sang a few lines and then turned and ran back to the stage.
    I had tickets to the afterparty with my brother who is a rocknroll photographer. After an hour or so Patti and Lenny Kaye came out for a beer. I went over to talk to them. I had the presence of mind to thank Lenny for Nuggets - it changed my life. (and if you don’t know what Nuggets after punk ended and the eighties kicked in, don’t ask).
