Lemmy To Lecture On Drug Abuse
from the *Boom* dept.
Now I've seen everything.
MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister has accepted an invitation by Tory Welsh assembly member William Graham to address the assembly on drug abuse. The 59-year-old singer will give his talk on Thursday (Nov. 3) — before a gig in Cardiff.
"Frankly, young people are more likely to listen to him," Graham told the BBC News.
"Lemmy is taking it incredibly seriously, and his manager says he's writing a speech," said Graham's researcher, Paul Williams.

Rose was only slightly edged out by grandparents! But he dominated everyone else! Yes, yes! ICON ahoy!
