i think it is important for adolescents to believe this, because it kick-starts their ambition and drive and gets them out of the plypen and into real life. it is also important that they stop believing this by the time they stop being a teenager.

in terms of popstar careers it is better to retire before you go shit (basement jaxx are this month's exhibit a) - there should probably be an age limit, and only special cases like madge would be permitted to pass it.

But Madge has turned to shit and back to good so many times that she'd have fallen foul of that rule years ago!

She's never turned to shit! Ever! Evita was er less good but even that period gave us the Miami Mix of 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'.
