No Rock And Roll Fun

HIS SLIPS ARE SEALED: As if the return of Hanson and Jobson isn't enough, Seal's back, too after five years of wrong turns and blocked muses. He pissed two years in LA making a now-dumped album, and returned to England, where he got his groove back. Although, confusingly, he says: "I moved back to England and reacquainted myself with the things that were integral to my growing up, all the things that form a part of who I am: family, friends, countrymen and countrywomen." Which makes it sound like his new stuff is going to be about the need for fox hunting and the drain on the rural economy caused by the lack of affordable housing for young couples in small villages.
