For anyone stranded in the cultural backwater that is Japanese pop land, I found a great picture of Utada Hikaru (Japan's biggest musical bounder) in a Smith's T-shirt, and used it in a article I wrote for Slant Magazine.
The shock is that she would even know who the Smiths are, let alone appreciate them. Good picture though. Mozz as a manga character, anyone?

I had just got back from NYC (shopping at Century 21
However, on clearing customs and leaving Terminal 3 Heathrow, waiting by United Airlines Express Check-in fore my car to be brought back to me I spotted Ricky Gervais! Normally I would smile to myself and mention in a whisper to my travel companiona who I'd just seen. But is must have been the jet-lag because I shouted out "It's Ricky GERVAIS" to my friends. And one of my friends turned to me and said "Who?". He smiled at me and gave a thumbs up (probably praying that the encounter ended there... which it did).
I digress.... I notice that Japanese lady wearing RANK T-shirt. I could have got her a signed one!!
