DESTINED FOR!!
------------------------------
This is the FINAL cut, the way the
interviewer (me) wanted it to look,
and NOT the way the interviewee
(Green-Beret) wanted it to look,start
comments on the SCENE TALK interview,
and end comments, and any other
comments were not done by me,all this
one was. I hope that this still ends
up where it belongs (in AMNESIA DISK
MAG) 'cause it is a cool interview...
NOT!!
