Thank you, Ooooon, for that Thai news. It strikes me you're really out of touch. I think MC Hammer is your man. I was in my local headstore today and they had the 70s WHO on, Squeze Box followed by WHO Are You. I think it was some kind of compilation, they switched it off when Moon died. I love the introduction to WHO Are You, it's perfect. Must get the album some time. That gives a new meaning to "making a mental note" to do something. The rector at Glasgow University doesn't actually have to do very much if they don't want to. Hence Winnie Mandela. I voted for Winnie Mandela. Her extra-curricular activities hadn't come to light at the time. I think she was the first showbiz star to be elected, opening the floodgates for Pat Kane from Hue and Cry, and Victor Meldrew. I don't know who Ross Kemp is. Pat Kane quickly set to work getting seen with people in wheelchairs, then disappeared. I stuck two fingers up at him once. When he wasn't looking. Rectors don't have anything to do with graduation ceremonies. What I most object to (or disagree with) in Duke's article is his belief that Pop isn't democratic. A quick look at History, or even Pop History, will show that people who believe that Pop isn't democratic are naturally wrong. And to wish for a non-democratic Belle and Sebastian is to wish for something else entirely. So ner. I was reading Record Collector in my local headstore and there's a new deluxe Showaddywaddy reissue out. I don't know if it's a Mike Hurst production though. They were keeping mum about that. Apparently Showaddywaddy have "legions of fans". They should go to Malcolm "The Duke" Allured's pub.
