Arthur's back(utterly NP)

Just a word for any of you old Love fans who haven't heard that Arthur Lee 
is out of jail, and by all accounts is in amazing form. He's been touring 
Europe with LA band Baby Lemonade as the latest incarnation of Love. They 
are touring the States now, returning here in late August.

One bit of weirdness generated by the visit was the Early Day Motion put 
before the House of Commons by Peter Bradley MP and signed by six other MPs 
including one Tory and one Liberal Democrat. (the tabling of an EDM is a 
device to draw attention to an issue, and to elicit support for it by the 
means of inviting other Members to add their signatures to the motion.)

EDM 1369 reads: "That this House pays tribute to the legendary Arthur Lee, 
also known as Arthurly, frontman and inspiration of Love, the world's 
greatest rock band and creators of Forever Changes, the greatest album of 
all time; notes that following his release from jail he is currently 
touring Europe;
and urges honourable and especially Right honourable Members to consider 
the potential benefit to their constituents if they were, with the 
indulgence of their whips, to lighten up and tune in to one of his 
forthcoming British gigs."
