What songs should be longer or shorter?

  • Resumen

  • The rock and roll ballot-box is stuffed with votes and the exit polls suggest how this week’s debate might play out. Along these lines …

    … is there still such a thing as British music?

    … John Lennon as a lavatory attendant.

    … Pink Floyd’s miming lessons.

    .. how Neil Finn cheered up the All Blacks.

    … the staggering difference in the UK album charts in the weeks the last two Labour Prime Ministers were elected (1997 and 2024) - male British bands v international female solo acts.

    … ‘Starman’ on Top Of The Pops and the tricks it plays on the memory.

    … “current chart acts are either in the spotlight or don’t seem to exist at all.”

    … the wit and wisdom of James Blunt.

    .. the Herd’s guest spot in the Tom Courtenay caper Otley.

    … the Phil Collins syndrome: “when people are tired of duffing up pop stars, they tend to re-embrace them”.

    … plus birthday guest Richard Lewis and songs that should be longer – eg Dancing the Night Away by the Motors, I Can Fly by the Herd (cue military bugle and church bell and choir).
