Last night's television

I was highly offended by last night's 'I'm in a Rock'n'Roll Band', which suggested that keyboard players reckon they're the most technically proficient musician in any band just because they got to Grade 3 Piano. I would like to point out that I was about to take Grade 5 when the lovely Mrs Pratt suggested that further progress was unlikely. I assumed she was talking about my piano playing.

Another recurring theme of this series of programmes was the outrageously bad behaviour of the average rock band. Well, this afternoon I had the honour of watching mid-Hampshire's most hotly-tipped up-and-coming purveyors of rock/alternative/Italian pop while they relaxed. It involved going "Wheeee!" on a trampoline and then making squeaky noises blowing blades of grass between their thumbs. Keith Moon spins in his grave.
