Judging judges (Score:3, Interesting)
But I have mixed feelings about Simon Cowell. In his interview with NME last year, Morrissey was indirectly rather scathing of his main activities:
“NME: One of the songs on 'You Are The Quarry' is 'The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores'. Name five.
Morrissey: "I could name 505, but that's not the point. Let's just say the world is full of crashing bores. They know who they are, particularly within music."
Are you alluding to 'Pop Idol'?
"It's the entire culture of so-called pop music and the assumption that all you have to do is stand there and smile and you're a pop idol. (Sighs in disgust) They are the aspects of modern society that scare me to death. They're worse than terrorists."
Why? Because they have more impact on ordinary people's lives?
"No, because they're idiots. It's just the hideous process of wheeling them on, stripping them down and throwing them off. It's just so degrading and sad, really. You do actually feel pity for them, and you can only shudder at the working mind of the young people who enter the competition."
Do you think there's an element of sadism in popular culture now that wasn't there before?
"Definitely. And that is because people will do anything for fame."
Did you always want to be famous or did you just want to express yourself?
"No, I certainly wanted to be famous."
Would you now if you were starting again?
"Well, I think when I was a child, more than anything else I wanted not to be ordinary. And I wanted to be considered to be a bit peculiar. When I was at school I wanted to be peculiar and I was delighted when I was at secondary school and I was actually thought to be peculiar (laughs). It was fantastically good for me because I looked around me and I thought, 'Well, however you are I don't want to be like you, so if you think I'm unbalanced then I'm delighted.' That really stayed with me."
However he’d be supportive of this other aspect:
“Contestants on the new season of American Idol would be well advised not to wear any fur now that judge Simon Cowell is the newest voice in PETA’s anti-fur campaign. A smiling Cowell appears in a new PETA ad holding a dog and saying, “If you wouldn’t wear your dog, please don’t wear any fur.”
Cowell wants consumers to know that each fur coat, collar, or cuff means that animals have been cruelly trapped, drowned, or beaten to death in the wild or gassed, strangled, or electrocuted on fur farms. Fur is a relic of prehistoric times, when it was the only thing to keep primitive people from freezing, whereas today’s lightweight synthetics, such as Gore-Tex, are much more versatile and efficient at keeping people warm. Faux fur or no fur is what’s in tune with current concerns about treating animals with respect.
Charlize Theron appeared in a similar ad displayed on a billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and ER star Goran Visnjic shot an anti-fur ad for PETA that appeared in numerous magazines in the U.S. and on billboards in his native Croatia.

GQ joke (Score:3, Funny)
On his first day in rock heaven, Johnny Cash is shown around by Jimi Hendrix. They see Janis Joplin swimming in Southern Comfort, Elvis making fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches and Jim Morrison composing poetry. Cash decides he's going to like it here. In the next room they see U2's Bono admiring himself in a mirror.
"Wait," falters Cash, "Bono's not dead yet!"
"No, no, no," says Hendrix, that's God, he just thinks he's Bono!"

It's a bit of a weird list too; who's Mylo? But it must make him smile to know that he's won alongside Charlotte Church.
In your munchkin face James Blunt.

He's just a sad, lonely, angry guy.
He needs all the attention he can get, the poor freak.
That is why he always comes back to throw insults at anyone he sees fit.
Ignore him, just ignore him -- he will probably drown in his salted tears.

Another interesting review! (Score:2, Funny)
The Chinese cookery award that David appears to have won sounds interesting along with his award for best album. Not surprising really with such a unique name as ‘Stabbed repeatedly with a Pitchfork’.
Keep it up David, Manager of England (See IBEH string), Master Chef and creator of distinctive albums. Hope you still find time for this site!
Completely Hatstand or what!!!!!
