Danny:-
I nursed a sense of grievance for quite some time.
...and with no small measure of justification Danny! One can only hope that the article truly portrayed your lynchpin role in this saga as the photograph clearly failed to, given that your image was conspicuous by its absence.

The price of fame is indeed high, for even if one is pictured it is important that it be of one's 'best side' in order that one's fans are spared possible disappointment. So much to think of, so much to bear in mind. Perhaps the most important lesson of all though, for those caught in the fleeting spotlight of celebrity, is to be nice to the people on the way up as you will meet them again on the way down!

Anyway, better late than never, have a Well Done!
