On Friday (24th October), British Airways Concorde will make its last flight from New York to London before retiring from service. Reuters news agency have published a number of quotes from celebrities about the aircraft. Jay Kay said "It's a fantastic thing to watch the sun set and then watch it rise and then set again. You fly so high I mean I've actually seen the curve -- the black line between night and day on earth -- because you're traversing it so much more quickly. So it's a beautiful thing." For those interested in the history of the aircraft, there's a detailed section at the BBC news web site.
Supersonic, the second single to be taken from Synkronized, was released yesterday in the UK in 1999. In 2001, A Funk Odyseey was awarded Silver and Gold awards in the UK to mark sales of 200,000 and 400,000 copies respectively.
