Five years ago today

It was a very different world in 2002:
A talented solo artist had a bit of a breakdown on stage and flounced off leaving the crowds hollering for their money back; only in 2002 it was Michelle Shocked
while another solo artist gave an interview to a magazine, made some ill-considered remarks about the effects of immigration in changing the landscape of their home country and, when people pointed out that sounded a little racist, threatened legal action; only in 2002 it was Dannii Minogue
