I plan to purchase a PC of my own in the not-too-distant future, so
I've decided to refrain from playing other people's MM/JSW games until
then, and then to play through them all from the start (compiling an
unofficial list of bugs and POKEs to fix them, which I will put on my
website).

This is no longer a factor, as "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "The
Fool On The Hill" are in Party Willy (Part 1), which I have just
finished apart from the attributes of Maria , and applying my
previous hacks to specify the player's sprite-page in any room, and to
implement my 24-hour clock.

It's not me, although I /have/ seen David live three times
(Sound+Vision tour, August 1990; Outside tour, December 1995; Move
festival, July 2002).

But I /am/ going to see Radiohead at Manchester in November! :-) It
will be my second time to see Radiohead live - the first was in
October 2000, the week that Kid A was released.

Party Willy (Part 1) has three Radiohead-inspired rooms, and also uses
"Where bluebirds fly." (from the "There there." single) as the in-game
tune. There are several Bowie-references too, not to mention other
musicians...
