In my view Lily Allen is very much overrated. I just don't get it but then I'm not the hep cat I used to be.

Well put pophead. Elvis has changed this century as far as the corporates are concerned - the concert for AskJeeves for example. His latest tour is sponsored by Visa. He has also changed in the company he keeps and I dareday a lot of that is because of Diana. Isn't he managed by Diana's management c...

Great setlist. If you went to the toilet/bathroom on a couple of occasions and missed a few songs you could have been forgiven for thinking it was the early 1980s.

I was sure that when I came back the 100,000th post would have been written.

I'll now be keeping a constant vigil so I can be that lucky 100,000th poster (unless s/he has already been chosen :lol: ).
