Fall from Grace

What is Billy's obsession with having a fit bird on bass? As for the bloke – he might as well be my dad.

Babyshambles were voted the worst act of this summer's festival season, which was no mean feat – I saw Primal Scream at Glastonbury with my own eyes.

I, like many others saw the full extent of this tax-payer scorn when my father was (unexpectedly) confronted with Boy George in all his glory.  “What's that? Is it a lad or a girl? You surely don't like that, do you?” No, of course I didn't but I couldn't agree with him, now could I?

A few weeks ago an ex-NME journalist wrote a big piece in a national paper ...she displayed a complete lack of knowledge or interest in music. She had never heard of (for instance) Krautrock.

Wings for the rest of your life. No escape. Just when you thought it was safe you'll hear a Wings song

Anyway, I suppose this homily leads us as to why they slipped down the Steve Lilywhite breast beating path. And our answer (apparently) leads to the door of Bono.
