Heroes - Bowie

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

I'm pretty sure Angel of death was 1st on the album but is definitely another great Slayer song. There are some pretty average albums especially after Lombardo left for a little bit. However I quite like the last album Christ Illusion.

She's a bit unreal. I saw her in interview one time and she's charming, witty and so together. Her performance self is almost terrifying.
