GRATEFUL DEAD - GRATEFUL DEAD ROADIE IS LAWNMOWER MAN HERO

Former GRATEFUL DEAD roadie PAUL WOODS is making headlines in America after embarking on a 3,500-mile (5,632-kilometre) trek to claim a home left to him by his late mum - on a lawnmower. Woods set off on the trip from Alaska to Virginia back in 2005 but his adventure has only just come to light after well-wishers in Utah discovered who the lawnmower man was. Woods is expected to reach the home he has inherited some time in 2009.
