I'm doing 27 things
I left my Dutch smalltown straight after highschool to go and live in one of the greatest cities in the world!
Never a dull moment throughout the year, went to see the greatest bands in the world (from the Ramones to Lou Reed, from Nina Hagen to Nick Cave!), went to see plays, and even opera. All the great museums, pubs and clubs… after a year I still hadn’t experienced it all.
Hope to go back one day..

One of the most eerie experiences in my life. The moment just before the sun disappeared completely I physically felt a strange sensation coming over me. I certainly understand better how people in other times must have felt when a phenomenon like this took place without knowing it beforehand..
Well, saw him play the for first time in 1992 in London’s Brixton Academy. Since, seen him also play in Holland and Sydney. But a special experience was a talk that he gave in Sydney’s State Library of NSW in December 2004. Afterwards there was a signing session and was able to meet my hero and shake his hand (wow, did I feel like an adolescent schoolgirl not wanting to wash my hands afterwards!)
What can I say…I just admire his extensive body of work, his voice touches my soul, and he’s just plain sexy!!
