I have many hero's in the Rock World?
My absolute hero's are not muso's
For me it has to be the Russian Soldiers who volunteered to dive into the radio active contaminated cooling water at Chernobyl to release the stuck valve that was stopping the water from cooling the reactor!
They died in agony but ultimately saved the world from a catastrophe!

Thinking about it puts a shiver down my spine?
Could I have done it?
Could you?

Winston Churchill. one of the best brits ever, and all our brave lads fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
