When Post-Modernism Turns Bad

[vimster]

There are some pretty awful World Cup cash-in records this year, Sham 69, Shawaddywaddy, Stan Bordman eve, but the prize for Most Pointless Exercise In Musical History must surely go to Neil and Christine Hamilton, a couple who have, inexplicably, managed to remain in the public eye several years after their use-by date

Of course they need the money, but do we need them? What's their USP? They're basically famous because Neil didn't get away with a bit of political sleaze, and of course the confrontation with Martin Bell - but that was in 1997! Since then they've lurched from one desparate publicity stunt to the next, each subsequent outing more desparate than the last, compromising what little capital they had in the first place further and further to stay in the spotlight. It's frankly pathetic.

No, it's just Jimmy Persey doing a cover of Hurry Up Harry called Hurry Up England. It's alleged he stole the idea off some young band. Either way it's nothing to get excited about.
