No Rock And Roll Fun

IT'S NOT THE MEN U LOVE, IT'S THE MENUDO: A long time ago, Neil Tennant used to claim that the Pet Shop Boys would follow the lead of multi-selling Latin act Menudo by simply replacing band members as they got too old with new, younger flesh. This business plan served Menudo well for twenty years (and was adopted by Rod Stewart in his marital affairs) and even managed to create Ricky Martin as a spin-off, but eventually, the group came to a natural end. But, what with 2004 being the year of the unlikely comeback, Menudo are being reactivated to offer "wholesome music aimed at the prepubescent fan".
