Idol

Flicking through the channels I came across an ageing pop star in concert at New Wembley... He'd also been at Old Wembley over a quarter of a century ago. If I'm not mistaken, he's just been given community service for driving and drug offences. Ah well I think I'd rather watch another episode of 24.

"To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer a rock singer
Or a big film star, yes I think I would like that
To be rich and have lots of fans
Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
And be no. 1 - and liked by everyone

Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me Man and I dig them
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - its quickly diminished."

Paul Weller
