Rockopedia-MikeOldfield Description

Rockopedia-MikeOldfield: This is an entry in Rockopedia, my "experiment in autobiography", based around the lives (and, sadly, in too many cases, the deaths) of people I have known and written about since my first article was published in Melody Maker, on July 7, 1957. It is very much a work in progress, and further entries will be added as and when they have been completed.

This one is devoted to fun and games with Mike Oldfield, of Tubular Bells fame.

Rockopedia-MikeOldfield

Richard is good-looking and really smart, which is sexy to begin with. He additionally makes a billion bucks before breakfast—and still is aware of the way to rejoice. Few individuals in modern business are as colorful, shrewd, and irreverent, and possibly no one’s nearly as much fun to be around. . . . Branson embodies America’s cherished mythology of the iconoclastic, swashbuckling entrepreneur. Branson wears his fame and cash exceedingly well: no necktie, no chauffeur, no snooty clubs. . . . What continues to line Branson apart is the unique -- and, to some, baffling -- nature of his ambition. . . . He isn’t interested in power within the usual sense of influencing others. . . . Boiled down to its singular essence, Richard Branson simply needs to have fun. Richard Branson . . . is dressed to the nines: in a $10,000 white silk bridal gown with a traditional veil and train and acres of lace. . . . Branson is predicted to do the sudden, even the bizarre -- anything to publicize his latest venture. . . . the fact is, Branson’s widely reported stunts appear almost staid compared to the unconventional method he manages his burgeoning empire.
