Ugh! I am warning you…It won’t be a pretty sight! – Nermal

Tonsils? – Nermal

But they must do something about those colour blind aircraft painters… – Nermal

Flood – you are vomit inducing. Blurgh!:eek – Nermal

Ah – but can you name any of the British subjects who did take up arms? Not even the American who was splattered all over the press took up arms – so he is just imprisoned for being in the country. How many of these people would have liked to have left but found that they were suddenly blocked in by international blockades – if they knew that anything was happening? It is not like Britain for being able to get news, you know. – Nermal

Shes a waitress???:confused: – Nermal

What if John Logie Baird had invented the vibrator instead…?:eek: – Nermal

I agree. I have absolutely no respect for any artist who can’t write their own material. Covering a song or two is one thing, but having somebody else write all your music and lyrics and then just providing the voice is another.

Although it has to be asked who you do respect… Elvis maybe (care to name one song that he wrote that anyone could recognise)? Did Sinartra write all his songs? Elton John had Bernie Taupin, but did do a lot of his own lyrics and music for his albums. Kylie even!
We were spoilt in the 70s, 80s, and much of the 90s in Britain – our performers, for the most part, wrote and played their own music. The sad fact is that many of todays musicians can’t write lyrics, and the lyricists can’t write music – and the record companys won’t take chances anyway.
