Yes, but only because the Byrds (remember the Byrds?) had a song on one of their albums that included, and was titled after, all three names, thus linking the three names in my memory.

The only two I really recall keeping me glued to the seat were 9/11 and Blair's first election win. Since I left school in 1979 (the year of the witch) my adult life had only seen a Tory govt until then and as the night went on there was the added joy of the Tories being wiped off the Scottish map. Normally I'd go to bed, but not that night. The air smelled much sweeter the next day.
