BLUNT TELLS US TO SWITCH OFF
Now, while we can understand James Blunt's message to those of us who hates his droning signature tune, it's not really that simple, is it, James:
"To all those bastards who don't like my music -- you're all adults, you can switch your radio off."
Right. I figure I've heard You're Beautiful about seven thousand times since it was first made, and on no occasion that I've heard it have I been able to "switch it off". The trouble with your song, James, is that it's so bland and wallpapery it's found its way onto the mind-zapped compilations played in public places: it pours out of the supermarket tannoy system between calls for checkout operators to return to their tills; as you try to decide between socks in clothes shops, it'll dribble out of the in-store radio service; enjoy a low-priced meal at a Pizza Hut and it'll come at you from behind the salad bar. The reason why your song is so offensive is because it's the type of empty noise over which we have no control. If we could just switch you off and not bother about you, don't you think we would?

So, so depressing. Great blog, by the way.
"it'll dribble out of the in-store radio service"
Aha! That's why Bruno Brookes had a heart attack - message from God: "Stop playing bluddy James Blunt on that in-store radio service you run!"
The only reason James Blunt hasn't been lynched is that it would simply result in his ghastly drone getting played even more.
Christ, it almost makes Candle In The Wind sound like a half-decent song. Almost.
