Brian Harvey: He's like Neil McCormick, in essence

For a cold, clear eye on the current music scene, we need look no further than Brian Harvey. Yes, that Brian Harvey. He shared overmuch with the audience at Liverpool Empire:

"Simon Cowell is solely responsible for fucking up music. I feel sorry for that Leona girl - she's a mug."

I suppose he has a point. East 17 playing the Liverpool Empire in 2007? Music really, really is in a bad way.
