No Rock And Roll Fun

WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, REALLY: Jimmy Lea in an almost life-imitating-About-A-Boy moment, has said he's sick to death of hearing Merry Xmas Everybody. Or Santa's Magic Sleigh, whichever one he co-wrote for Slade. We know it must be awful for him - how can he truly look forward to a massive cheque from the rights administrator every spring when it involves having to hear the song so often? (Then again, we have to put up with it coming out of every bloody cut price wrapping paper shop and jerry-built grotto for three months, and we don't even have the comfort of thinking 'That's another farthing in our stocking'). We bet he's just pissed off the Wombles chose to work with Roy Wood instead.
