ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TARGET: Well, having got the attack on Pop Idol out the way,
Alex Kapranos is at least moving on to more demanding targets: he's now had a pop at Sting for being divorced from reality. Kapranos has expressed disbelief that Sting has to be in a tower surrounded by candles to need to write songs. To be honest, we reckon that that's to be encouraged rather than disparaged: we like the idea of Sting being in a tower surrounded by naked flames, and would suggest that he spends more time trying to become inspired in just that way. Possibly wearing parafin shoes.
That and, well you know, an art student complaining about someone else's distance from reality makes the mind boggle at the irony of it all. Not that I want to defend Sting, far from it, but I think Alex should just shut up for a while.
