No Rock And Roll Fun

HALFWAY TO OVERNIGHTS ON BBC THREE COUNTIES RADIO: It used to be that getting a TV show was some sort of pinacle of a career, a crowning glory usually accompanied by very special guests, the Brian Rogers Connection doing a dance routine, and a chance to do a sketch with Glenda Jackson. Now, thanks to the lower standards at LWT, any half-wit can get to do an 'Audience With...', and the likes of Kate Thornton and Emma Jones have demonstrated that TV has turned itself into little more than a holding cell, providing work and warmth for people who've fucked up elsewhere until they die. So it should come as no surprise that Andrew WK is about to launch a programme all of his own, initially to be carried on MTV2 in the States. [Thanks to Robert L for the tip].
