sorry for the big huge quote especially as honey was rapping us on the toes for posting too many long posts but the thing is after common people I remember jarvis complaining about people who he wrote common people and misshapes AGAINST coming along to pulp gigs and singing away, singing a song that basically said they were crap but not getting it. And he slightly lost it afterwards, did he not? I doubt that will happen with b+s... but in a way think about it... if most people had the chance for fame and fortune they'd go out and grab it... anyway, most of the people being slightly dubious about all of this *incl. myself* are the same people who say the charts are shite... and they are shite. its not as if b+s have sold their souls away to sony or lovely arms dealer associated *so I've heard...* emi or anything... they just want a slice of the cake, they want people to hear them. And it is their cake. And it is tasty.
hmmm
