The rock and roll ballot-box is stuffed with votes and the exit polls suggest how this week’s debate might play out. Along these lines …
… is there still such a thing as British music?
… John Lennon as a lavatory attendant.
… Pink Floyd’s miming lessons.
.. how Neil Finn cheered up the All Blacks.
… the staggering difference in the UK album charts in the weeks the last two Labour Prime Ministers were elected (1997 and 2024) - male British bands v international female solo acts.
… ‘Starman’ on Top Of The Pops and the tricks it plays on the memory.
… “current chart acts are either in the spotlight or don’t seem to exist at all.”
… the wit and wisdom of James Blunt.
.. the Herd’s guest spot in the Tom Courtenay caper Otley.
… the Phil Collins syndrome: “when people are tired of duffing up pop stars, they tend to re-embrace them”.
… plus birthday guest Richard Lewis and songs that should be longer – eg Dancing the Night Away by the Motors, I Can Fly by the Herd (cue military bugle and church bell and choir).
