No Rock And Roll Fun

FRITWATCH: A big bowl of custard for Lyle Lovett, who's cancelled dates in Australia and New Zealand because it's scary.
His agent said yesterday the heightened security level in the US prevented 46-year-old Lovett, a Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter and former husband of Julia Roberts, from travelling.
"Due to the heightened security level placed on all travel by the US Government, Lyle Lovett has decided that international travel is too risky to be attempted at this time," the statement said.

What a bloody yellow-belly. The "heightened security" doesn't prevent him from doing anything - the "abject paranoia and pathetic fear" does - and what sort of statement is "Lyle Lovett has decided that international travel is too risk to be attempted at this time"? Does Lyle get extra special reports from the security services that tells him something that the thousands of people who are zipping about the globe quite happily don't know? Or does Lyle think that he's so fucking important he'd be a target? Or that he's so cherished and adored by the world, that if the very, very slim risk of something happening to him did occur, the world would be thrown into a frenzy of mourning that would make Diana and Khommeni's funerals seem like a cold shoulder from an unloved aunt? What a bloody custard.
