As we’ve already made abundantly clear on this very day, no-one wants to see myriad bands reforming to remind us of why we thought they were a bit awful in the first place.We thought we’d just get that out of the way to start with.
Secondly, the answer to the question ‘Why do bands reform?’ is never ‘For the music, maaaaaaannnnn.’. It is, invariably, “for the money, maaaaaaannnnn.”
Whether we like it or not, the music industry is a big wheel that keeps on turning, spewing out derivative crap with every clicking cog. That’s not the problem, it really isn’t. There is still good music out there and even some of the launched faeces eventually breaks down into a diamond.

So, The Pope has come to Britain to wave at people and talk in Latin, despite the fact no-one speaks Latin anymore. He’s very holy isn’t he? He’s also not very popular with the chattering classes who all like to moan and snipe about the Catholic church’s history of child rape and their unwillingness to help out with the whole HIV thing.
Of course, not one of these people are prepared to do anything about it or we would’ve seen them outside various Catholic churches for years, breaking windows and shouting insults at the clergy inside. Isn’t that right, whingers?
However, that won’t stop us taking cheap shots at ol’ Popey. No chance. We’re so pathetically weak that we’re going to call him a kiddie-fid because we want to be liked… liked by monsters like you. And so, we’ve got a bunch of songs which we’re dedicated to Pope Benedict XVI. Read More >>>
The Super Bowl has seen some controversial moments in the past. Janet Jackson’s boob. Bruce Springstreen’s groin.
Paula Abdul. That sort of thing. But this Sunday, all of that looks set to be blown out of the water when Pete Townshend from The Who will – get ready for this – play some of his most famous songs in front of several thousand adoring fans. The bastard. Let’s burn him!
Alternatively it’ll be when Pete Townshend plays some of his songs and members of Florida child advocacy group Protect Our Children stand outside with some placards moaning about that time that Pete Townsend was arrested and cleared in a child pornography sting. Still, it’s still better than Jackson’s tit again, we suppose.

Morgan Freeman has had a long and varied career – one minute he can be a dignified black man and the next a dignified black God-figure.
Because of this, Morgan Freeman has become so loved that the American government have decided to step in and honour him at this year’s Kennedy Centre Awards, along with big names such as Barbara Streisand, choreographer Twyla Tharp, a country singer and the members of The Who who haven’t died yet.
Why has Morgan Freeman been chosen for a Kennedy Centre award? Two reasons, really. Firstly Morgan Freeman has left an indelible mark on cinema and has directly influenced American culture. Secondly, by getting caught in a car with a woman that wasn’t his wife, Morgan Freeman has helped invoke the spirit of John F Kennedy better than any other entertainer on the planet.
