I was reading Zodiac's book Crucify Me Again, and he dedicates an entire chapter to record companies supplying tons of drugs with the express purpose of killing band members so when they die they can achieve legandary status and sell tons more records!!! Maybe the record execs thought it was time for Maurice to go.....He specifically mentions Michael Hutchence too in this chapter.

I kid you Not.

Think I might have to read that Planet.

All that sacrifice, so that that other Gibb can be hauled up to be shy and uncomfortable in front of the whole nation on Fame Academy...

Or is it just me watching?

Sadly not. It would appear to be a large portion of the nation watching that brain-rotting pap.

It is particularly disappointing this year, if it's possible to be disappointed by such pap. They've made it even closer to Pop Idol, and seem to be holding phone votes constantly, to maximise income. They don't seem to be teaching the monkeys anything this year, either. Just feeding them bananas.

Agreed. Phone voting is a very cynical way of exploiting money from very stupid people.

And you know far too much about this rubbish. Stop it now.

I don't normally watch this much trash on telly, honestly. MrsChris is having our first LittleChris any day now, and is very big and tired. Flopping on the couch and flicking the remote control counts as exercise these days...

Unfortunatly it's not just the Rock stars who become great after death, but our very own Royal family (pah) too......Take that Diana women..Everyone hated her, she was considered a slapper, bad mother and the biggest publicity seeker ever. Didn't know anyone who actually liked her.......She dies and the two faced nation goes all 'wasn't she lovely'
BOLLOCKS!!!!!
<climbs down from soapbox now

....I think the only person who doesn't fit in this category is Freddie Mercury!!!!

MrChris · 04 Sep 2003, 11:41

I thought Brian May was a bit harsh - not only does he wear Anita Dobson on his head, but when his bandmate dies from AIDS, he immediately releases a song called 'too much love will kill you'...oooooh....

I think the gentlemanly thing to do would be to say that the dress in question is very fetching and elegant

((**conspicuously fails to do so**))

Mrs RicheyJames · 04 Sep 2003, 11:53
