The Fine Art of Surfacing, indeed
So who knew that Bob Geldof had a stake in the the Survivor juggernaut. I once shared a train car with Bob and the late Paula Yates. When I lived in England the trains were still pretty much inaccessible for someone in a wheelchair. I had to ride in, get this, the baggage car. Yep. I sat in the with the mailbags. Anyhow, Bob owns (owned?) a former monastery in Faversham (Kent). He and Paula were getting on the train with bicycles which they put in the baggage car. He saw me sitting in there with my friend Simon. He thought it was so funny that we were hanging out there that they sat with us and pulled out a six-pack of beer. Seemed like a really nice guy. I remember thinking that Paula was really fucked up. How brilliant of me.
