Thanks Kimi

Graceland sent me a PM saying he was a former Rolling Stone. 

Was I being thick, or what?  Embarrassed Embarrassed

I remember Brian Jones, I saw the Rolling Stones once, (long long time ago) Brian Jones was the hunk of the band! (not such a hunk as Aaron though!)

Hello,

This is a brilliant site for the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, where the likes of Oscar Wilde, Chopin, Jim Morrison (of the Doors) are buried.  I've been there, but this site is amazing as you can look at each gravestone and it's got a good index.  http://www.pere-lachaise.com/

Brian Jones played a guitar in the stones. 

Did not like the Stones or their music but Brian Jones was another matter, I'd watch them on tv but with the sound down.

On another note, they were at one time talking of doing something with Jim Morrison's grave as it was getting so many visitors, not sure what they had in mind tho'.  Seem to remember it was a prog. on one of the discovery chanels  Huh

I think William Joyce was Lord "Haw-Haw" executed in 1946??

I vaguely think James Joyce might be buried abroad somewhere??

As was customary for executed criminals, Joyce's remains were buried in an unmarked grave within the walls of HMP Wandsworth. In 1976 they were exhumed and reinterred at the New Cemetery in Bohermore in County Galway, Ireland.

Hi eadaoin,

yes, "abroad somewhere" is right Smiley

James Joyce
