The artists Achilies' heel

So, if you don't want to see has-beens making fools of themselves on public television... why do you watch Strictly in the first place?

I mean, come on, Brucie... definition of "had it", isn't he?

What was the single? I really liked his collaborations with Thievery Corporation in recent times.

Aren't you being a little unfair? Should he just curl up and die? I'm not sure I agree that an artist should be afraid of not living up to his past work. Go out there, take chances. If your fans don't like it, so be it. You shouldn't be slave to their wants, as well as love.

So, when your wife jumps into a pond, do you jump in as well? You're married, not welded together... I hope.

But no, I didn't see it. When I happen to see Strictly - which is far from always, and most often when it's on in the background while I'm cooking, so I miss a lot anyway - I pay even less attention to the padding. Most of the acts they have on are worse than Brian Ferry in his senility, anyway - Robbie Williams, for starters.
