I haven't had a big hit record in America since 1987.
In 1987, I was in Edinburgh doing my first one-man show. I took part in a kickabout with some fellow comedians and tripped over my trousers and heard this cracking sound in my leg. A couple of days later I went into a coma and was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism.
The 60s passed and faded and I grew older, and in 1987 bought a house in upstate New York, and it turned out that John Brown was buried down the road from my house and that he had lived there longer than anywhere else and his house was still standing.
My father died the year I was elected to Congress: 1987.
I first became an Alan Moore fan in Covent Garden on a Saturday afternoon in 1987, when I bought a copy of 'Watchmen,' his graphic novel about ageing superheroes and nuclear apocalypse.
I went to New York in '87 to write for 'Saturday Night Live.'
'The Joshua Tree' was the soundtrack of my life when we were making 'Appetite.'
Axl's favorite record in 1987 was 'Faith,' by George Michael.
The first commercial routers came out about 1986, and services came in 1987.
The truth is, I was D.J.-ing on my college radio station in 1987, and I was called 'Mad Marj.'
I bet on baseball in 1987 and 1988.
In 1987, I had no idea who Steven Isserlis was. We met at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. It was originally just an Italian summer festival, but for the past 14 years, there's also been a spring festival in America.
