They say Hardley is biggest name there is!
Strap-on Sally
Le très sérieux hebdomadaire anglo-saxon "Business Week" vient de
publier une étude sur les 100 premières marques mondiales et leur valeur.
La seule marque de moto a paraître dans ce Top100 est l'américain
Harley-Davidson, en 41e position (hormis Honda qui y paraît aussi mais grâce
à sa position en tant que constructeur auto) avec une progression de 4% par
rapport à 2003.
Au Top10, vous retrouvez dans l'ordre : Coca-Cola, Microsoft, IBM,
General Electric, Intel, Disney, McDonald's, Nokia, Toyota et Marlboro.
On parle bien ici de valeur de la marque et non pas de valeur de la
société elle-même. Business Week a donné les critères de sélection : un
chiffre d'affaire supérieur à un milliard de dollar, un revenu devant
provenir au moins pour 1/3 à l'international, des résultats publics et des
analyses de rapport en provenance de cabinets financiers comme JP Morgan
Chase, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.

No, I was just joking with you.:-) BTW, you have never heard of the
French group "Gong"? What do you French guys listen to over there?

exemplary taste and savoir faire, my favourites are Serge Gainsbourg, Paris
Combo Johnny Halliday. The kids listen to the crap that US kids would listen
to i.e. MP3 rap downloads that hurts my brain.
Gong is actually a British group that came over here because, I guess, we
were kinder to them than they were. They are .. I think you would call
them.. "progressive rock", if that makes any sense!

Here is the line up for Gong:
One of my favorite drummers Mr.Pierre Moerlen: Drums, Glock, Vibra,
Marimba, Timpani
Mireille Bauer: Marimba, Vibraphone, Glock, Toms
Didier Malherbe: Tenor Sax, Flute
Benoit Moerlen: Vibra
Francis Moze: Fretless Bass, Gong, Acoustic & Electric Piano
I think these guys are French Sally. I mean their names are French
right? Actually I am 100% sure these guys are French. Indeed they are
progressive rock with jazz leanings. When they have brit Allan
Holdsworth on guitar with them they are way better. I am in my 40s as
well and being from Wisconsin I have my fair share of cheese. BTW, I
don't think Putz is French. I think that is English. You type French
as good as you do English. Very impressive.:-)

Yes they are bloody well good. :-) My family originates from England
on my mothers side. Hence my preference for tea and crumpets.You must
have seen the line up with Steve Hillage and Daevid Allen. The old
line up is a bit different then the later line up although I like both
incarnations.Have you had the pleasure of seeing Allan Holdsworth?
Allan is the best thing to come out of England since the Beatles and
Triumphs. Although Allan does not even resemble the Beatles musically
he is just the most gifted electric guitarist on the planet. He lives
in the US now. Thanks to Englands high tax rate he decided to move
hear. We are glad to have him.

Your wife has one thing in common with my wife. She is never wrong
either.:-) BTW, my wife is half French. You would think being half
French she would be wrong half the time. Not the case here if that
makes any sense to you.:-)
