Parsons Watch - Episode 2

Hoorah - it's Friday, and that can mean only one thing here on See You in 2..., it's time to see what's been going on in the world of Parsons.

Tony Writes:

Let us take a look at the view from the top of Tony's column.

- Only God truly knows how long the police need to hold terror suspects without pressing charges. (Maybe he told George W. - the US have a 7-day period).
- Fiona Bruce is set to hit the big time
- Shop girls are just as good as lawyers. (I think this is meant to be a compliment)

Parsons of the Week:

This is Matt Parsons, a computer programmer. He is known within IT circles as Crazy Matt due to the hi-jinx that he gets upto. Some of his most memorable stunts include:
Switching the monitor leads on his 3 friends' computers (hilarious)
Strawpedoing a bottle of lucozade, followed by a Tab chaser (unhinged)
Asking a girl out on a date (unprecedented)


***Parsons Music Hall of Fame***

This week sees Alan Parsons join inaugral inductee Gram Parsons as a member of the Parsons Music Hall of Fame.



Alan overcame his beard affliction to work on some of the all-time great albums, including Abbey Road and Dark Side of the Moon. However, after working with Wings, Alan got the idea that he too could make his own records and so began his Prog Odyssey, or Progyssey. Albums from his 30 years journeying through synth-landscapes include his interpretations of Poe and Asminov, plus the classic exploration of telephone conversations, Ammonia Avenue.

Today he remains one of the hairiest Parsons in all of rock.


Parsons Word Fact: An anagram of Parsons is "Ass Porn".
