I love Adele, absolutely love her. And Ed Sheeran's DID recently turned my head, I must say. If I touched upon the Eagles I'd have to say that the B-side of Hotel California pissed all over the A-side and, don't forget, Chris Martin wrote Yellow.<br /><br />However, Bono is, always has been and always will be a Spunk Trumpet.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-85857650645053014052018-01-20T10:07:29.114+00:002018-01-20T10:07:29.114+00:00Yes, it was the tour that accompanied the Stars al...Yes, it was the tour that accompanied the Stars album that I got tickets for and MH performed amazingly but yes, I have seen him being described as you have done on other blogs.<br /><br />This isn't a written down list (for once!) but so far I've got the impression that it might not be popular to write about:<br />Bono<br />Phil Collins<br />Ed Sheerin<br />Chris Martin<br />Adele<br />Sting<br />The Eagles<br />The Bee Gees (but the tide has turned there I think)<br /><br />Anyone basically who either takes themselves too seriously or has been just too commercially successful. <br /><br />It pays, it seems, to not take yourself too seriously (would always agree with that philosophy) and not to become a global superstar (although once it motion not always easy to stop the train). <br /><br />There are more probably but they are the names that come to mind. Any others on your radar?

In fact I loved the whole of the <i>Stars</i> album - it lived in my car for months on end when it came out.<br /><br />I'm keen to know why you think it not wise to write about the band. Is it because their lead singer is a bit of a cock? Because if that were the case, you'd be barred from writing about 75% of all bands!<br /><br />And who else is on your 'list'? Again, I'm curious.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-32032267562224599512018-01-20T00:48:50.387+00:002018-01-20T00:48:50.387+00:00A lot of babies in my circle as well but it's ...A lot of babies in my circle as well but it's just because all our friends are becoming grandparents - Not quite ready for that yet, nor is DD I suspect.<br /><br />I loved that Simply Red song and went to see them around that time - Not a band that crops up a lot around here I've noticed. I have a list, that is getting longer and longer, of artists perhaps wise not write about! Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.com
