thomas dolby, always intrinsically linked to my old friend dr. crack who flew back from singapore just to drive me to see thomas preform his only sydney gig at the invitation of fairlight which held a competition to see which musician used the instrument in the most creative way and overwhelmingly thomas won. dr. crack was in a flamboyant mood and was ordering up bottles of expensive champagne, he was jet lagged and wearing a bright red electric suit and looked like some kind of character from the 5th element, in his weird clothes and primary colours. at one point he fell of his chair and it took four people to get him to his feet, all while thomas dolby played on, in the middle of 'i live in a suitcase' i think. anyways, dr. crack enjoyed himself and somehow we returned home safe and sound.
