Valentino Rossi regained his MotoGP World Championship title after 2 years of losing to an undeserved Nicky Hayden in 2006 and a promising Casey Stoner in 2007.
On the other hand... a younger, crazier, taller Italian rider with bigger hair than Vale terrorised the 250cc field, tormenting the likes of Hector Barbera and Alvero Bautista on the way to winning the 250cc title....
Off the track... the interviews were funny... and he had no chance of putting on any sponsor's cap with that hair.
Turned out this kid, like Vale, was from within 20 miles radius of San Marino... a town called Cattolica....
Marco "Sic" Simoncelli - Super Sic.
Vale's self proclaimed "youngest brother".
I wasn't the only one to think that we were looking at "the new Vale".
Ciao, Sic... grazie mille for all the great entertainment.
There was a scene in Pearl Jam Twenty that shows Eddie Vedder on stage at a Pearl Jam concert, apparently on the day after news of Kurt Cobain's death, saying to the crowd "All of us will probably not be here today, if not for Kurt Cobain".
Not just Eddie Vedder & Co... a journey that started with Andrew Wood and involved Chris Cornell, Neil Young, Alice In Chains and Kurt Cobain...
Most of us survived to relive the era last night... Alive, indeed =]

5 Years ago today, Papa, in sleepy sarong, on bended knees and with a ring
in hand,...
