I mean, with Barack Obama being popular in the US , Mel B might be a
popular choice to reunite the population.
Why not... I just like the idea of people who prove themselves on
merit. Though she's sort of royal (has relations called Princess and
Beverley Knight)
So maybe a peerage (another relation HAS actually been elected, one of
the very few pop stars to have done so) and the top job.
Did Thatcher have a dick or something that we didn't know about it. I
actually liked her ideas and was she not phenomally corrupt would have
been a superb leader.
Best PM for the last 30 years was almost certainly John Major -
another guy who made it on **merit** , boring , but he was actually
very likeable, so much so that when some student chucked an egg at him
a lot of people felt sorry for him and the vote reflected that.
However, the hated criminal justice act , that shut down peace loving
ravers and started the rediculous oppression of musicians we've had
since, was a travesty, Like Blair following Diana's death, cowardly,
which was a shame. Blair should have declared the monarchy
illegitimate until the issue was resolved which would have spurred on
a proper investigation and restored *genuine* respect for Elizabeth II
who I sincerely believe is a good women innocent of all wrongdoing.
The two things seem to have improved Mel's performance stateside from
an also-ran to the biggest star of all time. And has natural skin that
changes from light beige to dark brown with summer sun, as non-GM
human skin actually should...
Most blokes seem to distest the band, who are not actually
manufactured but top session singers and musicians who write and
produce their own material (can vouch for that) . Before the best
known five-piece line up we we're trying to promote ourselves as a
rival to Blur but people stopped booking us after everyone started
trashing every venue we played which were either full or completely
empty with no apperent reason why.
We thought SAW as a live instrumental act rather than as a writer/
producer team would be popular and it seemed to induce riots which
must of been the reason why we stopped.
What was very telling was some of our band got very angry that they'd
been cheated (not over royalties but because they'd been associated
with the Spice Girls who had , unlike most had the courtesy to credit
those who influenced their sound as co-writers) - this was just too
weird....
Does anyone find it weird that Sir Paul McCartney was knighted, as a
known left hander. I'm not prejudiced and have lefthanders in my own
family who are great guys who do suffer a lot of unneccessary
discrimination in sport, IT and the like, but isn't there something
about left handed knights in history - i.e. they're not meant to be
knights.
The two acts are distantly related to myself, which is a bit weird...
Still , doing very well in music at the moment despite the best
efforts of some to disrupt us from doing so. Why? I mean there's
nothing particularly controversial in the chart stuff we put out.
Something that we have found is that some labels are grossly
exagerating illegal download "losses" to boost profits by stealing
some of the take, and since the charts became electronic, they are not
at all accurate.
This miserly attitude cost some of my mates who decided to sue a new
label I was testing out (less than 50 total downloads of some back
catalogue) thus cutting off their own revenue and blaming me for
trying to make them some money (and we'd splashed out on some
expensive kit for them)
De-men-tia...
Seems to be affecting straight acting gay and waspish lesbians the
most, and other wannabes such as black rock guitarists trying to play
"white" rock. It's just so weird it's unreal..
All have backed off after seeing how badly this backfires on them
which it inevitably does. It's like they hate people who are trying to
help them and side with those putting them down.
The dosage doctors are recommended to prescribe psychiatric medication
and the period of treadment are far in excess of the specified
therapeutic limits.
NICE should be put on trial for war crimes.
I avoid alcohol altogether...As of all the drugs it's the most easiest
to contaminate unless you import or brew your own...
My cousin drinks very heavily , doesn't watch TV though (and I love
reading the stories about her in the press - they actually are stories
from 8 years ago when she was an alcholic and they print them as
NEWS) , my sister watches TV , drinks , doesn't smoke and she's less
together.
I'm not sure if my cousin is a cousin in the true sense or half-
sister, even full sister and adopted (especially as we briefly dated)
- don't want to put anyone through the rigours of a DNA test (skin
colour is no indication yet a lot forget this) . One goes Ginger/Amy/
Beverley/Vernie in the sun , the other Jade/Javine and she's more
messed up about race because she can be white but only at certain
times of the year, whilst the always dark one can't do this. I think
this forced identity in the media, coupled with incredibly dangerous
risks of mixing script with booze. Otherwise other than hieight,
they're almost identical. The last time we were friends was when we
went to see Mel and Emma (then radio presenters at a roadshow in
Clacton around 1993/4) Maybe they're is something..
I try to be frank, that scares people because they seem used to
acting, which just isn't me. That's how middle aged people actually
remember life to be- you loved people for people and you looked out
for family and friends, not demographics. Shame and humilation were
much less of an issue. Too many middle class people with too much
money too quick- they try to be "middle class" but they're not, and
bizzarely started proving their "worth" in terms of respectability by
distancing themselves from "inferior" relatives i.e. genuine working
class and mixed race ones.
Wannabes are the worst type of anti-social offender. We're running a
campaign at the moment to get the family court system scrapped by the
EU on human rights grounds as it's in violation of EU law - bt er..
ity's this bleedin' crown issue again :)
The Spice Girls, R&B? What planet do you live on?
Say You'll Be There is what an R&B track actually is- like the
Supremes and Ronettes. Guitar bands used to play this music too, such
as the Beatles, The Stones etc etc.
I'm a successful political journalist and also a successful music
producer. I could never get a job at the moment as a music journalist
because I know that Wrestling Is Fixed.

Whose music have you produced? And do you have a link to your latest
political articles?

Playing an R&B song doesn't make a group an R&B group
R&B means Rhythm and Blues , like Rock & Roll (latter is black
American term for sex)
The genre is a mash up of African rhythms , particularly in the use of
the bass and bass drum , European folk , and Jewish/German classical
music.
A lot of the pioneers such as Lieber and Stoller were of Jewish-German
ethnicity.
The music is steeped in mysticism - particularly Voodoo/Hoodoo and
Kaballah.
Brits are actually well suited to this style of music, as we WERE a
less racially segregated society than the USA, allowing the necessary
cross-fertilisation of styles to occur. Not that much difference
between Detroit and Dagenham at all, and the Ford works in both towns
meant staff going from one base to another on company business.
MTV was the worst thing ever to hit our music scene- a lot of people
say England and America are two nations divided by a common language.
The English resent not America but having corporate white American
values foisted upon are culture, which was less multicultural than the
US but without such crap as "race".
To have our goverment (Conservative at the time) favour MTV over our
homegrown entertainment industry would be regarded as many as cultural
treason. We LOVE America, but please, on our terms. For example I love
a Big Mac, but we should have equal choice to choose say Fish and
Chips or a Kebab.
Musicians from my era (only late 30s too) regard music as something
to bring people together in the same way as a church, not to divide on
race or religious grounds...
Just over a decade ago, I thought f**k 'em, but when you see the
family you grew up with (and no reason to suspect they're not your
birth family either) turned against you - that's mind control. Illegal
and immoral, and highly so. People can choose what records to buy etc
and what culture to join- we shouldn't be forced. I'm against forced
integration but equally against forced segration- when these guys
split your family straight down the middle on religious grounds, you
DO become bitter. That's human nature.
Now I just want justice- not revenge , but justice and those who were
involved in this cultural hijack and attack on our values brought to
proper account.
R&B means Rhythm and Blues , like Rock & Roll (latter is black
Yes I know what R&B means thanks.

I'm not sure about that. I can't say I've ever noticed any mysticism in it,
unless Papa's Got a Brand New Bag is a reference to god.
