Horror story

16/02/2007 | blog

This is a true story.

Today on my way back from work, one of the worst possible things that can happen to a person actually happened to me.

I was merrily driving along the A27 listening to the radio when along came a song I hadn’t heard before & didn’t recognise the band.
I thought to myself ‘this is pretty good. I like this’.

Then the song finished and the DJ said “That was the new single ‘Shine’ from Take That”

Please kill me now.

    You see, that’s prejudice for you! Have an open mind and don’t be ashamed to like a song because the band is a bit naff! You’d be amazed at some of the songs I have – if it makes me sing along, dance around, makes me happy or melancholy – if it touches an emotion of some sort, I like it!

    Mind you….Take That is possibly pushing it a bit!

    I agree with you completely. There are even songs I like by Busted.

    Take That, however, is positively over the edge!

    Haha, that’s OK, I used to sing a Take That song with friends when walking home from the pub, drunk… It became habitual :0)

    I did exactly the same with ‘Patience’, their previous single. I haven’t heard the latest yet. I think they’ve matured nicely.

    I tend to find that for _any_ band no matter how much I dislike them, there tends to be at least one track I can relate to.

    Actually, now you mention it, Patience was quite good.
    I saw a bit of their live tour when I was flicking channels the other day though and they definitly are lacking something without the studio ‘touch’.

    Be encouraged, dear son, In days gone by, ‘Take That’ was a statement issued after persons or individuals had been assulted or insulted by poultroons or n’er do wells and you have been. Try listening to Original 106 FM. They don’t play crap.
