Hack at work.
Killing Bono
"The best book I have ever read about trying to make it in the music business" - Elton John
"A fantastic book, which manages the difficult trick of being simultaneously very funny and very sad." - Bob Geldof
"I was Neil McCormick's fan in school. He was much cooler than me, a much better writer and I thought he'd make a much better rock star. I was wrong on one count. He's written a great book" - Bono
Britain’s got talent, shame about the judges.

Piers Morgan: the naked truth. As seen in his Burger King commercial
Apparently Simon Cowell apologised to the live audience of a Britain’s Got Talent audition in Cardiff last week, saying, “you have just witnessed one of the worst days in Got Talent history.”
And I thought, oh no, here we go again.
His fellow judge, Amanda Holden, added, “This afternoon there have been no potential winners and no talent.” And lets not forget, this is an actress who should know a thing or two about lack of talent, having progressed from being a contestant on Blind Date all the way to the stellar heights of being a minor TV soap actress better known for her marriage and affairs than her dramatic work.
As someone who sees and hears more interesting music than I have space to deal with, I would (dis)respectfully suggest to Cowell and co that if they are having trouble locating talent its because they are the wrong people, looking for the wrong thing, in the wrong places. Which is a pretty comprehensive list of wrongs.
