Others might not quite share your high opinion of them, but they won't suffer the reaction I did just now when I returned to the same dining room only to hear Michael Bolton singing Dock of The Bay. It was as if he'd done a poo in my ear and wiped his bum on Otis Redding's grave.<br /><br />I see your point YH, but I can think of a few people who would fail to appreciate the Carpenters' strengths.<br /><br />Richard - I know what you mean about emotions, but if you're managing a public space (eg a hotel dining room) you don't want too many of those about.<br /><br />The ISB might appeal to an audience of Archbishops, Vicus.<br /><br />I can certainly see Cabaret Voltaire appealing to a broad demographic, Philip, provided they're not really listening.<br /><br />84829942-3a88-11e0-83da-000bcdcb5194 (or may I call you 84?): You've never actually done it with a real lady, have you?<br /><br />Lots of people do hate Dylan, Rog.

Everyone likes Girls Aloud, don't they?<br /><br />I've probably mentioned this before, but I can't seem to get over it so I'll mention it again (I need closure, dammit):<br /><br />Scene: Binion's Horseshoe Casino, Downtown Las Vegas.<br /><br />Time: Late October 2004.<br /><br />Clientèle: 95% retired Texans. Huge belt-buckles and angina-related medication were non-optional.<br /><br />Piped music: "Sex Dwarf" by Soft Cell. In fact, that track was part of a collection of British early-80s experimental synth-pop that the casino played on a loop for SEVERAL DAYS.<br /><br />For reasons I still can't understand, there was no riot of any kind.

Some of the protagonists may be annoying but to be fair, there are few performers I'd be prepared to spend more than a few minutes with before I'd want to start throwing stuff.
