There's a guide out there somewhere on t'interweb, called "How to Sing the Blues"
and whilst he's obviously a peddler of cheap, nasty '80s pop rather than blues, I think one point is universally valid.

"No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be an old ethnic person, and you slept in it."

I really do fail to see what their appeal is, and yet for some reason they are lauded by some as one of the pinnacles of modern rock music. (Which might explain why modern rock music is so shit) And who decided "The Edge" was a good guitarist?

The Manchester Scientology office
is very close to my office. On warm days they stand on either side of the pavement so you have to walk between them to pass. One of them confuses you with pleasantries whilst the other tries to give you leaflets and herd you inside for a personality test.
