to think that something we've done is something that will be remembered. Someting we've done will go down as an all time classic. It becomes part of people's lives, their memories, their hopes...But if it all ends tomorrow, we've had a good ride, we've seen what it's like' -- Brian Nash

Banned by the BBC

After BBC Radio One plays 'Relax' by Frankie Goes To Hollywood fifteen times in one week, this record is banned because of its obscene lyrics.

Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood is experiencing its fourth week at number one in England. Only Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg's 'Je t'aime' also managed to become number one
despite the fact that this number also was banned. 'Jump' by Van Halen is now the best selling single in America. The Thompson Twins coming in at number one in with 'Into The Gap'.

Moreel fout

Nick Beggs doesn't like us, he thinks we're morally wrong. I think he's a stupid idiot. There's another one who doesn't like us: Boy George. That's a real idiot.


Mike Read banned 'Relax'
