Just to make the same link come up 3 times a row on my friendslist

Lex interviews Estelle - and the 'racist music industry' argument gets into the main news section too. IN YR BROADSHEETS SETTING YR AGENDA.

The opening bit of the interview reads - probably unintentionally - like classic Morleyan entrapment though: get Estelle to rant about how Adele ain't soul and she can't tell me what soul is, then ask Estelle what soul is and get staggeringly vague answer.

Oh, yeah, I understand wrt space/focus - it's an interview, not a column. I was more thinking about jumping off points that weren't what the majority of blog/forum traffic is going to pick up on. It's still a good article either way.

Also I don't get the feeling that if I had included the one line "I think Amy W's amazing though", it would have stopped any of the complainants from misreading or just not reading or whatever they're doing.
