my favorites from the band.

(41,131 posts)4. Same for Walking on the Moon, and Stewart's father
and his son's views on politics as expressed in the article are pretty surprising.
In school studying art history we had to read one of the books of a Cambridge Five spy, Sir Anthony Blunt's piece on the Italian Renaissance. His work as a Soviet spy 1930s- 1960s went public in 1979 but I didn't know anything about it till years later. It's a strange world at times!
