I hadn't heard the Prince's name in a while. I was at a firm in '96 and as part of our IPO roadshow did a presentation to him.

ummm

Alwaleed bin Talal was the guy who offered $10+ million "to assist americans in need" as a result of the 911-attacks.

Also, just for the record, the offer was put down (!) by the all-american mr. Giuliani - who instead went out and criticized Talal's observations of past..."american behaviour" in the middle east.

so much for iSLAM.bin

Biggest non-US investor

He's the single richest non-US investor period with a net worth last reported at $20 billion (2003) making him the 5th richest individual in the world. He's an investor and entrepreneur. He is a nephew of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and a grandson of King Abdulaziz, the founder of Saudi Arabia. He owns nearly 5% of Citibank and over 5% of Priceline. IRC, he owns around 5% of Apple as well. He invested in Apple when they were on hard times in the mid/late 90's. This *is* news, unlike that Howie Dean story yesterday.

Flawless song, really, among my favorite Radiohead tracks ever

Would you say this track is just RIPE to be a 10-15 minute live jam?

i'd concur on the RIPENESS of this track and that it does have the potential
to become a 10-15 minute live jam. we can only pray the band will also
realize this.

Funny that, I was just saying to my hombr� here that of all the radiohead
songs, this is by far the RIPEST for a 10-15 minute live jam.

you'd have to be a fool not to see that this track is RIPE to become a 10-15
minute live jam. i mean thom might as well be singing: 'you had to piss on
our parade / you had to shred our big day / this track is just RIPE to be a
10-15 minute live jam'

if radiohead were a field of strawberries, and the strawberries were each
labled by song names, then the biggest ripest strawberry would be named "A
Punchup at a Wedding", because whatelse could be so funky as to jam to in
excess of 10 minutes?

Funny thing happened the other morning. I got up to have my morning tomato
when I noticed my eye was all swollen from a fight the night before, and it
looked just like the tomato I was about to eat. I realized then and there,
punchup at a wedding is just RIPE to be a 10-15 minute live jam.

while everyone's going insane i feel that i'm staying reasonable calm
because the picture of you i couldn't find is finally found so everything's
fine

* RIPE
