[Mael-list] Time Out

[Jon Dignan]

>From pencil-inflicted hand injuries, to moving speedboat filming - 10 things you may or may not know about Russell Mael.

Page 86 of this week's London 'Time Out' reveals the following:  (with expanded information on each)

1    Russell and his brother Ron once claimed to be Doris Day's sons
2    He still bears a childhood wound inflicted by Ron
3    As a child he modelled catalogue clothes
4    He once lived in Beckenham
5    He was an ace football player at high school
6    Along with the rest of Sparks, Russell had a cameo role in 'Rollercoaster'
7    For the sleeve of Propaganda, Russell and Ron were photographed in a moving speedboat
8    For Sparks debut gigs, Russell was wheeled on stage in a tiny ship
9    Morrissey is a massive fan
10   Pre-Sparks, they were called Halfnelson

Nothing earth-shattering for those 'in the know' - but good to see the profile being raised.  

Methinks the media onslaught in advance of May/June may have begun!    There's the odd plug thrown in there aswell:)
