No Rock And Roll Fun

THE LIBERTY BELL ONLY NEEDED TO BE CRACKED ONCE: There may be a degree of puzzlement at the news that Kylie Minogue is planning to launch a major campaign to crack America - hadn't we already been told how wonderful her American career was; indeed, wasn't EMI's success at breaking the lass with the ass in the land of the free one of the things that was quoted as being a reason for Robbie Williams re-signing with the label? And yet here we are: apparently she's still at square one, despite having had a number one. Just a hint, though: if you've already had some success, however small, it's not a mission to crack the states, it's a relaunch. Not that that should bother Kylie, she's already been launched more times than a pedalo on the Sefton Park boating lake. What's another one to her?
