In the name of the father

Thought we'd continue todays religious theme with a few videos on the topic !

Black Grape - In the name of the father


Patti Smith- Gloria


A little point here. Shaun Ryder & Patti are two of my favourite artists. Both icons. Over the last couple of weeks there has been wall to wall media coverage because the media has discovered someone who's not an oil painting who can sing. Well Shaun & Patti aren't either but so what? They are superb. It's called talent. It's why their music endures.

I'm with you on this, Rog (well, on most things, actually).

Watching the YouTube of Susan Boyle's first performance and, more to the point, seeing the expressions on people's faces is like watching some horrible throwback to the 19??s? Anyway, to a time before feminism and sheer common sense told us not to judge a book by its cover.

The effort it takes pretty Amanda Holden to look pretty is airbrushed out of the picture as well.

The fact that we are surprised is a sign of deep reaction in our society. And I don't know who to blame, but I wish it would all just go away... along with Wiis (rapidly earning my Grumpy Old Woman dowager's hump).
