The world would be a poorer place without diversity etc etc.

Exactly, which is why this common-minded reductive crap makes it all the poorer. Still, as culture implodes looking always for novel ways to re-package itself one might brace oneself for the Jubilee in which I would imagine there'll be some hilarious ironic takes on The Sex Pistols at least, thus missing the humour (and joy) that underwrote the whole thing in the first place.

I take my music, and my comedy, very seriously indeed - which is but one of the reasons I love the music of Ennio Morricone...
