-- Apparently Chris's medical prognosis is grim. He is unable to speak or walk and after surgey doctors anticipate that at best he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.. He may recover his speech after speech therapy but it's too early to say.. Here's hoping for the best outcome possible.

Where did that info come from? It's dreadful news. I hope the prognosis is wrong and he'll make a good recovery. Good if not perfect, that is too much to ask for. It's amazing how well people *can* recover from strokes and he's such an active-minded person his brain is in training for making new connections :-) Evidently the fitter a person is the better use they can make of the therapy available, I read that somewhere recently. Hope it's true.

He's a very intelligent and talented man. An artist and a patron of the arts, an interviewer and art critic. A great musician who's not afraid to think outside of the circle. I have a couple of CDs of him with his band The Tall Dwarfs and. while they're not on high rotation, I do enjoy listening to them from time to time. I have fond memories of the band Toy Love, it and it's music was part of an era for me, post-adolescence, a time when *real* musical appreciation is forming...
Best of luck Chris. -- Shaun.

It was kinda instrumental in defining a genre, being the "Dunedin Sound", and more broadly "New Zealand Music" (don't have a go at me for the labels or the genrification). The "sound" of Flying Nun's signees can be detected in influences of a lot of contemporary overseas acts today (Coldplay springs to mind).
Flying Nun was quite instrumental in getting acts that might usually be marginalised in the mass-music arena onto the airwaves and TV screens of NZ homes. And flats. Possibly mostly flats ;-)
Chris Knox is a very talented and thoughtful individual, presenting his work across a number of media, and is also a great - no nonsense - entertainer. One of NZ's finest. He might not be to all tastes, but... well... so much the better, really. Isn't that quite Kiwi in itself?

It's true alright that some people recover from strokes against all medical predictions. Whether their fitness is relevant I do not know, but I do know of a stroke victim who was thought to have little chance of recovery; far from fit at the time of stroke, but as he began a slow recovery he pushed himself to the limit when even walking two steps was a huge effort. After a couple of years of daily doing as much as he could in spite of the huge effort required, he was walking long distances, and eventually even bike riding etc. Nowdays he is fit and exercises regularly. Very few people would ever guess he had a prolonged period in intensive care with a fair chance of not getting out of the ward alive.

Greg, your delusions have moved beyond simply being worng and moved intothe downright fanciful.
So far as I am aware, I have never been the subject of a police investigation. I have never been convicted of a criminal offence I have been been charged with a criminal offence I have never been arrested.
Now, I dont know what drug regeimne your shrinks have you on, but there is someting seriously wrong with your brain functions. Get help.

Don't worry MC, Scooter does this to anyone who crosses him or says something he doesn't like . Geez he doesn't even know Chris Knox and he bad mouths him. It's Scooter's modus operandi. He's a confirmed head case.

Greg's cyber-stalking is legendary. As is how often he is wrong. I've lost track of the number of 'real' names he has attributed to me (Martin was a particular funny one he stuck by for a long time, perhaps assuming a relationship with 'misanthropic'?): maybe he think that if he dishes out enough names he'll finially get it right (which is quite amusing really - its not as if several several posters here dont know who I am, or that I have been loitering in nz.general for about 12-15 years now.
Perhaps on of more amusing parst of his derangement is his 'I'll come over and get you' mantra which is almost immediatly followed by 'but I cant be bothered' excuse.
Greg is a sad, sorry, pathetic, case. His passing will not be missed.
