'My Year' by Mike

These questions are taken from the Christmas issue of Kerrang! magazine and asked by myself to Mike via e-mail.

What did 1998 mean you?
1998 was a pretty tough year for me and the band. We had 3 tours cancelled...none because of us...and we spent the year playing showcases and club dates that seem to accomplish little. Hopefully 1999 will be better.

Album of the Year?
That's a hard one, but I really liked Radiohead's OK computer.

Movie of the year?
That's easy. Saving Private Ryan.

Person of the Year?
Bill Gates...for giving 100 million dollars for worldwide child immunizations. There's many more I could mention, but that was one that stood out. He's also spends a lot of money on numerous programs for needy kids.

Wanker of the Year?
President Bill Clinton.
