I’ve been thinking a lot about David Bowie just lately which is strange because he’s been fairly quiet. The other night I dreamt I was a gnome in his Ashes to ashes video, on the beach and a lot colder than I remember when I first saw it. Why am I choosing to mention David [...]

I was particularly saddened yesterday looking at The Sun (not that one, the English tabloid.) I went on line curious to see what they had to say about Manchester United’s destruction of AC Milan and there emblazoned on the front cover was a story about Take That’s Mark Owen. I read it and went back [...]

No matter what anyone says I’m sure American Idol has had it’s day, they won’t be producing a Carrie Underwood or a Kelly Clarkson for that matter and when you look at all the winners few are ’stars.’ To be idolized there should be some immortality and where is that in any of them? They’re pop [...]

I just got a note on my Facebook page from an old pal and colleague at Piccadilly Radio David Dunne attaching a clip from a bygone era. Oh how I laughed, it’s funny how you never remember how you looked. And then I found myself saying, ‘I wonder what ever happened to that jacket?’ All [...]

Those who think they know put together a list of nominees, spread them around the labels they work for and then troll along to the event knowing that their expenses will get [...]

In reality TV Cowell is a one off, American Idol need to do something very off the wall to replace him and I think Ellen’s DeGeneres’ addition to the judges panel was done with the knowledge that this series would be Simon’s swansong. Surely she too would have known that? I think they did right [...]

Another topic I hadn’t really considered blogging about but then I thought, why not? Why not what, comment on Ellen DeGeneres’ debut on American idol that’s what. And then I thought who really cares, it’s not as though anyone’s going to drop her from the show and besides every paper and TMZ type show is [...]

I just realized I didn’t blog about The Grammys which I suppose says a lot really. Sure I watched it and the thing that suprised me the most was Coldplay weren’t on it because usually they are. And next year U2 will have an album out and will open the show again and if Coldplay [...]

Another day another self obsessed ‘role model’ taken to the cleaners by the media. This time our very own England soccer team captain, John Terry. Great preparation for the World Cup Tel, no sooner than he was voted dad of the year he’s off trying to prove it. More like dog of the year. You’ve [...]
