Someone Gives Annie Lennox A Degree

We’ve never been able to get our heads around honourary degrees. A university gives a famous person a bit of paper with a degree on it, even though it’s not exactly going to help them get a job, and they don’t have to cripple themselves with debt and cheap booze to get it.

Yesterday, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama awarded three honourary degrees to three of Scotland’s biggest stars; Annie Lennox now has a BA (hons) in Doing The Soundtrack To A Rubbish Demi Moore Film, Billy Connolly has a BA (hons) in Telling One Funny Joke On Parkinson In The 1970s Then Making A Bunch Of Shit Films and Tilda Swinton has a BSC in Making It Winter For 100 Years And Never Christmas.
