No, actually, I've heard he composed the music for that horror, what was its name...Oh, yes, Witches of Eastwick. I quite liked the music in it, so it was this group or the group of Fans of Tubular Bells by Vangelis... Tubular Bells I didnt like much, so, I said, lets check out this other guy, Mike wossname... What honestly happened was this. I was abducted by aliens, and I woke up in this strange ship...There were strange mechanical things like hands and chainsaws, and robotic knives all around me. And aliens. They were watching me with their big ears - yes, they were using ears for looking around (I think this may sound to someone like I'm just trying to provoke cheap laughs). They werent grey, as it is commonly known, they were in fact more kind of small green with radio-tuner display for eyes, square-shaped mono-speaker for mouth, and two antennas from their head, a flow of electricity connecting them. So, what they did next was, surgery. They kept me there for a long time. What they did was, they kept rearranging my limbs. They would put my left leg for my right arm, my head for my left leg, and my right leg for my head. And then, they would laugh. They would then arrange my body some more, and laugh again. Then, one of them took my arm, and picked his nose with my finger whilst jumping around in circles on his 17 legs + one more leg, which looked kind of like a man suffering in the world which does not understand him, and is all alone, although he has some friends. Other aliens were laughing, and then one, he was bigger and looked like he's in charge, and was not jolly like others, said (using telepathy, of course): Stop that! It isn't funny, and I pay someone else to make the earthling-surgery (there, again... I hope there'll be people who will not mistake this incredibly serious story for desperate tries for easy humor). After that, they took me to their home planet. There were some incredible sights there. Things which looked like those things from sea, you know, those things, same like sharks, but after something heavy is dropped on them, were cruising through the sky like birds. And I saw an elephant. Honestly. Just outside McDonald's. I have to point out, I don't remember I was abducted by aliens. I remember sleeping in my bad, and the next thing I remember is me, naked, on the highway in the middle of a desert, with a front wheel of a bicycle in my hand. It had a flat tyre. I ran off home. Sometimes, though I have some kinda flashbacks, when I seem to remember something about the hole in the ground but I cant remember what. And now I can't remember if I really remember that sometimes, or I dont remember anything. I forgot. What was I talking about? Ah, yes. And then he opened the door of his car, and invited me in, although it was still blue, ha-ha. So, anyway, there was this other time, when I heard this song on radio, which I rather liked and my mom said it is by Mike Oldfield. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I will write down what really happened, but its kind of amazing: I heard To France on radio once and asked a friend if he knew who it was and he knew who it was.
