GUEST,Ed BS: Guilty Pleasures (66* d) RE: BS: Guilty Pleasures 29 Mar 15


I know we all have guilty pleasures

Wow, that's really impressive to have asked everyone in the world! For some reason, you missed asking me, and I don't have 'guilty pleasures'. So your ridiculous generalisation is clearly wrong.

I'm very much with Mark Radcliffe (UK radio presenter and author) when he describes finding '9 to 5' by Sheena Easton in John Peel's box of favourite singles. To quote:

"So was Sheena Easton what you might call a guilty pleasure for Peel? No, because no right-minded music lover, unless shackled by the notion of what's 'cool', need feel guilty about liking any record. If you like it, you like it. You don't need to justify it in any other way."

Amen to that.

And as for feeling guilty about a very occasional KFC or tin of tomato soup? What the fuck's that about???

As long as your pleasures aren't illegal, immoral or going to kill you, get on with it! Without guilt.

Ed

I quite like Abba and Enya too. Happy to have anyone know it.
