THE KILLING OF GEORGIE (Part I and II) (Rod Stewart) In these days of changing ways so called liberated days a story comes to mind of a friend of mine Georgie boy was gay I guess nothin' more or nothin' less the kindest guy I ever knew His mother's tears fell in vain the afternoon George tried to explain that he needed love like all the rest Pa said there must be a mistake how can my son not be straight after all I've said and done for him Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus cast out by the ones he loves A victim of these gay days it seems Georgie went to New York town where he quickly settled down and soon became the toast of the great white way Accepted by Manhattan's elite in all the places that were chic No party was complete without George Along the boulevards he'd cruise and all the old queens blew a fuse Everybody loved Georgie boy The last time I saw George alive was in the summer of seventy-five he said he was in love I said I'm pleased George attended the opening night of another Broadway hype but split before the final curtain fell Deciding to take a short cut home arm in arm they meant no wrong A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue Out of a darkened side street came a New Jersey gang with just one aim to roll some innocent passer-by There ensued a fearful fight screams rang out in the night Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone A leather kid, a switchblade knife He did not intend to take his life He just pushed his luck a little too far that night The sight of blood dispersed the gang A crowd gathered, the police came An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third Georgie's life ended there but I ask who really cares George once said to me and I quote He said "Never wait or hesitate Get in kid, before it's too late You may never get another chance 'Cos youth a mask but it don't last live it long and live it fast" Georgie was a friend of mine Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away Oh Georgie stay

Markus, was Ellen your mother while you where pumping EXDS shares. Tell me its not true. ELLEN M. HANCOCK EXODUS COMMUNICATIONS Position: CEO Contribution: Proved that data-centers-for-hire can be trusted to handle corporations' most vital information over the Net. Ambition: Make the Web as reliable and taken for granted as the phone system. In July, 1997, Ellen M. Hancock had a serious self-confidence problem. Despite a 29-year career at IBM (IBM), she was pushed out as chief technologist of Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) by the mercurial Steven P. Jobs. She wondered if she should bother seeking a CEO job given what she describes as a sullied reputation. Her blue period is over. Since joining Exodus Communications Inc. (EXDS) in March, 1998, Hancock, 56, now CEO, has emerged as a driving force behind one of the hottest new trends in cyberspace: Web hosting. With Internet startups and old-guard behemoths alike wanting to get on the Net with a minimum of money and hassle, dozens of companies have sprung up, offering to run their Web operations for them. Hancock offers a sorely needed nuts-and-bolts approach that is convincing customers they can entrust their most vital computing jobs to outsiders via the Web. Next up: She plans on making Internet communications more secure by running them across private networks. ''We think we can change the way the Net looks and feels,'' she says. Clearly, Hancock has the right formula. With a network of 22 data centers around the nation, Exodus, now No. 3 in Web hosting, is catapulting toward the front of the pack. Last year, the company's revenues grew a staggering 308%, to $215 million, and forecasts call for their doubling again this year. While memories of her time at Apple still smart, Hancock is just relieved she didn't finish her career there. Instead, she has forged a critical place for herself in the New Economy.
