I remember being mad about Kate Bush and her Wuthering Heights, talking of high notes. I still like it so no cheap shots. I think she was on the Mike Yarwood show and my parents were making a feeble joke about 'she sings like she's sitting on a hot water bottle' and I thought to myself 'how I hate my parents, they know nothing!'
Likewise, watching Top of the Pops and Message in a Bottle or Walking on the Moon, one of them anyway by Police, and my Grandpa said 'how can you like this ridiculous music, it has no tune, they can't sing' and waffled on through the whole of the video. I wasn't best pleased with him either.
God yes! I remember so well watching TOTP back in the 60s. I'd be watching someone like The Kinks or The Who (demi-gods) and my mum would start up "Do you think they are his real teeth?" or "Is he wearing a wig, d'you think?" BLOODY HELL!!! (I wanted to shout - we never said F in those days) but instead I just used to huff and puff. The thing is, nowadays I find myself asking Mr. E. if he thinks this or that newsreader or presenter is wearing a wig/false teeth/had a facelift etc. I'M TURNING INTO MY MUM!!!!!

I remember wanting to kill myself when the Sex Pistols appeared on TOTP because it was such a huge sell-out.
Just me then?
