I totally disagree that Winehouse’s music appeals to adolescent girls, it’s far more sophisticated than that. With it’s jazz and blues roots it certainly has an appeal for old gits like me, in fact I think that all my friends and relatives of a similar age have at least one of her albums.
Oasis were one of the originators of the so called ‘Brit Pop’ movement in the 90’s, I was an old git even then. I remember going to a New Years Eve party in Manchester in the early 90’s hosted by the editor of the Guardian and being introduced by him to their first album, we were all pretty ancient, but could relate to their style by their obvious influences from the Beatles and the fact that guitar bands were blatantly back. Rather like the Beatles, Oasis were able to cross many age boundaries, those old ones who remembered the good old days, and the younger ones who were looking for something which in their eyes was new and different.

Anyway, if you wanted to see some rebellious class, it had to be Nigel Kennedy’s performance on The Proms on saturday.
Following up his incredible performance of Elgars Violin Concerto, he took up his wierd 5 string electric violin and played some jazz. Now jazz doesn’t impress me that much, but he did, even bringing on Jeff Beck to duel with him on guitar.
He finished with a version of Jimi Hendrix’ Third Stone from the Sun, mindblowing, he may also be somewhat eccentric, but can he play, and deliver the goods.
