WHO AM I? – 2010 – lost in cyber space; the last run of clues were gotten eon’s ago, but lost somewhere ‘out there’ - it was of course Leonard Nemroy – sorry, no it wasn’t, it was Nemo. So off to a new clue: “I stripped to the bone to be unlike Frampton” – Numero dos, “I’m not Peter Frampton but teenagers love me.” Three, “75m for an album and tour – I’ll take that.”
