Had quite a good night last night on the TV/music front. Firstly watched part one of Queens of Pop, a documentary highlighting the careers of Dusty Springfield, Sandy Shaw, Marianne Faithful, Souixsie Souix and Kate Bush, which was excellent.

Later that night on one of the Sky movie channels was Killing Bono, based on the memoirs of Neil McCormack who was at school with the U2 guys and who spent their youth trying and failing to achieve the same musical success to the point of obsession. A lot better than I thought it would be.

This is worth a watch then, you'd say? I heard it was terrible, but I'd trust your opinion Dave.

well, it's not going to change your life but as a bit of fun about a band leader who makes all the wrong decisions it's a bit of a mindless laugh.

It sounds a bit like The Story Of Anvil. That was a brilliant film... : )
