Is the document swap mentioned at The Guardian at all?
Mr. Miranda was in Berlin to deliver documents related to Mr. Greenwald’s investigation into government surveillance to Ms. Poitras, Mr. Greenwald said. Ms. Poitras, in turn, gave Mr. Miranda different documents to pass to Mr. Greenwald. Those documents, which were stored on encrypted thumb drives, were confiscated by airport security, Mr. Greenwald said. All of the documents came from the trove of materials provided to the two journalists by Mr. Snowden.
Old friend ex Pretty Things drummer Viv Prince alive and well in Portugal tonight
I'll be honest I didn't think Viv would still be with us in this day and age. I met him in the late seventies through a woman I knew called Louise, who turned me on to Scott Walker and whose original May 68 posters I coveted. She was also one of the first twenty members of the original Rolling Stones fan club. Viv and her would reminisce about the early gigs and complain that they were never the same without Brian Jones. Viv also did the most incredible impersonation of Jagger's stage moves. Every so often I would get invited back to Viv's small bedsit in Highgate to try the demon home brew he made and I remember one night I was extolling the virtues of (some) disco music which to say didn't go down well with Viv would be a rather massive understatement. Anyway after falling unconscious at some point I finally awoke and headed off and after walking about a mile realised on seeing my reflection in a shop window that the bast'rd had written 'I LOVE DISCO' in texta on my forehead (NOT easy deciphering it backwards with a dreadful hangover!!!)
