And in 10 or 15 years we'll have an endless stream of Take That / BSB / whatever documentaries on TV, telling us how fucking talented and rebellious they were. Mixed with ABBA and the Beatles of course. Die already, ok?
The music press and radio stations are all still run by hippies and accountants. All those who turned hippie in '68 have now spent 30+ years defending their pre-'68 pop fan youth with endless stories about how radical John Lennon was. The only people from the punk years who were allowed to work in radio were the ones who said they liked the Beatles. And the Stones. And Elvis. I'm so tired of having the Beatles shoved down my throat every fucking day of my life. ''Oh, what a great song Yesterday is''. NO it's not. It's the most boring elevator muzac crap in the world. And by constantly playing nothing but the Beatles they've ruined it for anything good from the 60's to be heard. And they're making Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney even richer. Play The Sonics. Or better still - play something I haven't heard before!
	And now that 30-somethings are being let in at radio and tv stations we get a fucking ABBA revival! ABBA is just disco with some bearded boozo smiling and playing his fucking piano.
This piece was originally published in a paper fanzine in 1999. It got a good reaction - hatemail and praise - plus I'm a lazy complacent self-gratulating sod so I added it to the site.
