I'm not a number! I'm a free man!

...now he is.

Actor Patrick McGoohan has passed away at the age of 80. If you are wondering "what does this have to do with anything?" Mr. McGoohan co-created and starred as Number 6 on a British TV series called "The Prisioner". the show aired in the 60's and 70's

ok... and?

well... Adrian Smith and Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) wrote a song for their 1982 Number of The Beast album

the song? one of those GREAT songs by a GREAT band that for one reason or another wasnt as big as their other ones.

*By the way, notice how Adrian and Dave are both using a Destroyer/Explorer kind of guitar, instead of the usual 'Special' Strats, or Adrian's SG and LesPaul(look up the story on that one!)
