The Megaphone : A Debate Blog

Just so you know, me and the gf are going away for a dirty weekend in the Wales… where my darling mother will be doing most of the cooking and cleaning, and I will be doing most of the eating and making things dirty. So I won’t be posting again until Monday… I know, what the hell are you going to do without me.

So onto business. Last night there was this documentary thing on the radio about bands reforming, like Rage against the machine and The Pixies, which is good news. But there are also other bands reforming that really grind my gears…

Okay, so a message to Queen… having a guy called Paul Rogers singing karaoke with the other two members of Queen is NOT Queen. The same goes for INXS.

The Jam are also reforming sans Paul Weller, who only had a small part to play in the band… namely writing every single song and singing it and playing lead guitar. What the hell are they going to do drum and bass their way through songs that they had no part in writing.

Can a band can still call itself the old band name without the original lineup. Do you think Queen will ever be Queen without Freddie Mercury coming back from the dead?

Also, there have been a few other things on my mind this week. These should keep you busy while I’m away soaking up the sun in the land of Wales…

If you dream there is this frog and it’s wearing a crown and a cape and it’s your job to try and keep him alive, but he keeps on turning grey and nearly dying… What the hell does that mean?

Can anyone recommend any good new films at the cinema or on DVD. I have been thinking about going to watch 300 as I am a massive fan of Frank Miller. Has anyone seen it? and more importantly is it rubbish?

And finally… What the hell is wrong with my car?

If you can answer any of these I will be very grateful… have a good weekend
