No Rock And Roll Fun

YOU WEREN'T THE ONLY ONE, MARK: Mark Knopfler - who is looking more and more like Bill from King of the Hill - has told Reuters that whenever his music used to come on TV or Radio, he'd immediatley switch channels. Which makes you wonder why he carried on inflicting stuff that caused him pain on us as well. Surely, the most basic criterion we should expect artists to hold up to their work is "Do I want to listen to this?" - okay, maybe nobody wants to think Britney stays at home, DVD on auto-shuffle, touching her moisty innerself (no we don't), but you'd hope that at least she can get through hearing Boys on MTV without feeling queasy.
Maybe the Court of Pop should force musicians to spend a day in a room with their music on a constant loop.
