Now ....maybe I'm a bit too sensitive or maybe I am out of step with the times ...or both ,
,BUT ....are Iggy Pop and John Lydon really so poor that they have to sell insurance and butter to pay the fucking gas bill ..


This is Mr .Lydon preparing to have a piss on his legacy

Here he is endorsing his product .
Here is a quote "People know I only do things that I want to or that I believe in and I have to do it my way," said Lydon on deciding to appear in the TV ad.
"I've never done anything like this before and never thought I would, but this Country Life ad was made for me and I couldn't resist the opportunity.""

How could you not believe in it ?

Butter almost certainly exists ,It's yellow, you put it on your toast,and it comes out of cow's arses,(probably) .


I am aware that musicians have to put up with some fairly putrid double standards in these matters .

I lose track of the amount of times I have heard allegations of
"sell out ", from people who have done nothing BUT sell out their whole lives .


You know sometimes you read things that make you feel a bit sick ?
Like this


pop
Why is he doing that ?
For what ?
? Fame ? money ? A bigger swimming pool ?

i am beset by unanswerable questions .

Bob Dylan ?
Isn't he quite famous already?
Surely that fame brought a little attendant financial reward after every sponge had sucked its drip .

I just don't get it .

Quick everybody ....buy a cd ...trash your mp3's ....or we will have hordes of minstrels strolling down the high street in Ronald MacDonald costumes, singing insanely catchy jingles with a rose up their arse, just trying to scrape together enough money for a cup of tea .

I know there are worse things going on in the world .
i know there are more uplifting things going on in the world .
But ,
To a certain extent , the music world is my world, and consequently
I THINK IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD ,
because I'm an idiot like everyone else .


On a brighter note ....John Martyn died the other day .
Here is a slightly more uplifting story .

about him


lend us a tenner for a cup of tea would ya?
