The Kooks
I hate them. I particularly hate their tedious, gurning, two-rungs-lower-on-the-evolution-of-pop-music-even-than-Johnny-Borrell singer. I was at the Lewes Guy Fawkes festival a couple of years back (an annual celebration of slightly iffy pagan imagery, quasi-racist blackfacing, and firing large pellets of gunpowder down crowded streets), when I saw that walking ballbag of a man walking towards me, his simian arms swinging, his brow furrowed as he tried to contemplate the utterly confusing notion of any kind of songwriting technique beyond farting a melody and then singing doo-doo-doo over the top of it.

I wish I had been the guy standing nearby who chose to make his feelings on this complete and utter guffcloud known.

"Oi, KOOK!" he hollered.

No response.

"KOOOOK!" he persisted, fuelled by the heady mix of alcohol, cordite and apocalyptic fervour.

The manufacturer of dross looked over, ready to welcome the kind of critical attention that he was so used to garnering (bear in mind that this was around the time that these anodyne tit-stains were at the peak of their inexplicably chart-baiting rise).

"TWWWWAAAATTT!!" screamed this glorious fellow at the top of his voice, so loud that several hundred people turned and laughed as one. A round of applause broke out. Never have I felt so at one in my musical taste with so many people.

Kook scowled and walked away. I thank you, obnoxious stranger. I thank you, for having the grace and deftness of touch, the lyrical nous and verbal dexterity, to sum up in one word to that overhyped chuff-wipe exactly what everybody thought of him.

shouting abuse at other people who you don't know on any personal level. What a twat. having the media play his music that you happened to hear. Yes, what a twat. that'll learn him. hilarious.

Sure when you put it like that
but he does choose to be in the Kooks so pretty much deserves it.

So, to summarise
Man sees man shout at pop star?

Wow! Fucking hell!
