Comments:
| My names Travis and I'm a big fan of Travis. - Travis, Laconia, NH |
| Travis got their name from the main character in the movie Paris Texas. It's the same film that gave the group Texas their name and the soundtrack, which was written by Ry Cooder, inspired their first hit I Don't Want A Lover. - Clare, Chichester, England |
| Glass Onion, if anyone's too lazy to check, is the name of a Beatles' track. That's the one that fuelled the controversy about Paul McCartney's death, claiming "The walrus was Paul". The walrus is the symbol of death in Indian myth. - Matthew, Shrewsbury, England |
