1996 (from Mary Woods):
This just
in from a fan in Oz who phoned me:
Tim and Kirk
just did an interview on Triple J Radio in Australia. Some highlights:
- Tim expressed
his annoyance over the media frenzy about Michael and Paula and said
he was glad he punched out that photographer. (way to go, Tim!!)
- Michael
and Andrew will be going to Spain (why??) to finish some work on the
new album in a few weeks
- Tim said
they decided not to have any influences for this new work and they just
did what they wanted to do, a la "Welcome", but there doesn't seem to
be any slow songs in the bunch
- Hutchence
baby due in Sept. (hey, we knew that already, huh?)
