We hit the target on Boxing Day - not marking it as a Christmas turkey but celebrating Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr!

I remember The Rocky Horror Show (I wasn't involved in the film, which I disliked) taking far longer than 6 months to take off although the stage show exploded from very early on (I was, of course, involved in that).

I was delighted to see various characters at our Coronet screening who reminded me of the early Rocky stage fans - individuals, characters, supporters of outsiders...

With luck 2009 will be the year when even more people discover VPTM. If the result of my appeal at the European Court of Human Rights is positive, that would help enormously.

Meantime, do keep spreading the word.

The supporters you have been getting are interesting too.

Bizarre Magazine (how I found this site), Madame Arcati, Masterton (very well respected Yahoo blogger), Inquisition21 (much watched by "them"), Cooked'N'Bombed (high visibility and intelligent comedy), Morningstarr* (strong media), Woffinden (most admired journo with admiration far and wide from Mail to Guardian)...

Those who tend to watch and wait predict whichever way the ECHR goes you are well set to move up a notch.

Congratulations

I had no particular affinity for you or your music until I came across VP, and I have to say it brightened my year- superb!

It interests me that although some people liked the film enough to award it movie of the year prizes, the mainstream critics and reviewers and papers didn't touch it, to slag it off or praise it or sneer or admire.

That is truly frightening. Do they simply not dare or are they totally influenced by their own media or do they believe the system is honest or what?

Are they or their editors the cowards?

I thank that shows there is more truth in it than most media are willing to admit.
