Ahh...The days when bands could look like a bunch of blokes you just met down the pub...

As you say ...

But some still do, I was watching Kaiser Chiefs and several others playing at the Isle of Wight Festival (on the telly, that is) and they were pretty normal looking. Esp the lead singer of the KCs.

I don't think either of those made it to Italy, but I am beginning to suspect I would enjoy browsing your CD collection ;-)

You'll just have to come up sometime!

(How are you enjoying the Marillion?)

I'm very fond of 'John Kettley is a Weatherman' - it probably needs footnotes now, though a number of the pop culture figures mentioned are still about in one form or another.

Well, I know of this song and I rather like it, but whether that is from the original or from plays on those "Gold" type radio stations, and their cousins "Local Radio", I am not sure.

Who is it though?

I also remember the John Kettley thing, I don't imagine it's something I'd deliberately listen to again though. That wasn't all *that* long ago though was it? I mean, not back in the dark ages.
