Lionel Richie

Ey, and indeed, up consumers.
This week’s When Big Joan Sets Up was “the usual mixture of agony and ecstacy” (c) my dad, 2010 , pushing the cultural envelope to feature tracks from noisy Americans, frenzied Spaniards, skanking Jamaicans, the sound of the greatest band who ever drew breath live,   secret coded messages from anonymous MI5 agents (really) and,  sitting lonley in the pantheon of popular music like a diamond floating in a sea of cat piss and stoat offal , the single solitary good record with the name “Lionel Ritchie” anywhere near it.

And if you don’t think that that all doesn’t add up to an hour of top class light entertainment , then according to my MI5 secret code book, ( supplied by Jez’s Discount Books, High Street Kippax £1.99) you are patently a massive 542562.

Must go now, there’s something going on in the sculpture class, I think I’d better check it out.
