Starter for 10. Who is Banksy talking about?, by Art-el on Dec 8, 2008 16:53:34 GMT 1, "I heard there was a graffiti hall of fame somewhere in Bristol, but my dad was badly beaten up in the area so he'd always put the fear of god into me about the place. By the time I'd worked up the courage to cycle over and check it out. I was so terrified I actually remember choosing my best pants just in case!

''Of course it turned out to be one of the most inspirational pieces of wall in Bristol. I made a pilgrimage there every weekend. What it showed us was very powerful - that there was a choice between compromising or following our own strange little dreams. ****** *** youth club spawned a flood of artists and musicians, many of them have had an impact across the city and far beyond. It might sound a little crazy but I think **** ******, that shouty red faced social worker who made it all happen, has had more impact on the shape of British culture over the past twenty years than anyone else to come from the city. And I bet none of he cops who arrested him can say that"

Quite some accolade for one of Bristol's gems.

Copy of the book to the 1st person to name the man. If you own the book then fess up and pass it to someone who hasn't.
