The History Of Pop Part 6 aka Just look towards the west and find a friend

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It's Thursday, it's 2'o'clock, it's time for the Now poll. The series reaches surely its lowest ebb with Now 6, and evidence of penny-pinching abounds with minor hits and follow-ups all over the shop. Luckily those old faithfuls UB40 and Phil are around to 'steady the ship'. Did they ever team up? It seems inconceivable that they didn't and yet I can't remember - or my brain won't let me.

It has to be admitted that the 'bookies' have a clear favourite this time, but then the bookies certainly wouldn't have tipped Katrina and The Waves to beat out the competition on Now 5. Jimmy Nail seems to have attracted most of the DAILY HATE.

Comments, complaints, love letters to Baltimora, and musings on the impossibility of love across the iron curtain in the comments box, please.

Surprised (well a tiny bit) at the lack of love for NIKITA so far.

nikita is the EJ i'd like to like but actually - once it gets about a third of the way in - remember is not all that

there are two things i like abt elt =
i. that john lennon said he was the FUTURE OF ROCK'n'ROLL (another strike against ver 60s and DRUG INTAKE possibly)
ii. his tantrums in various fly-on-the-wall dox down the ages

I think my enthusiasm for Nikita would probably wither if I heard it again - being 12 when it came out and starting to think about romance and politics and being cynical and Nikita pressed all three of those buttons (i.e. I was quite cross at myself for being moved by it and so mocked it a lot).

When I found out Elton was gay I didn't believe it. 'But what about Nikita?!' I exclaimed. Obv. I was also too young and naive to realise she was only planning to marry him to get UK citizenship.
