No Rock And Roll Fun

YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK OF LETTING IT GO, NOW, JOHN: John Farnham seems to take it as a personal slight that Helen Clarke, PM of New Zealand, didn't know who he was and didn't think that a pop star had any place at the Gallipoli memorial. But, John, one or two little gags might have seemed like you'd taken it on the chin. To still be banging on and on about it a couple of weeks later makes you look a tiny bit desperate:

"There's no truth in the rumour that I am about to embark on a 10 month tour of New Zealand. The bloke over there won't let me in" he said yesterday at the Melbourne tsunami benefit. "I won't say she is a real dog. I wouldn't say that about my mother-in-law … and she is".

Hmm, using a tsunami benefit for a bit of cheap, personal point scoring - classy, John. I wonder why people think you might not be quite right for the memorial ceremony? And mother-in-law jokes and only having a "she's ugly" argument? What, are you Bernard Manning or something?

She's not even ugly anyway, is she?



- although, to be honest, anyone would look good next to that jacket Blair is wearing.

And Farnham? You're hardly going to be approached by Calvin Klein, are you?
