Has the world of media and entertainment gone mad? A significant chunk of yesterday morning’s Today programme on Radio 4 was devoted to a third rate boys band (I believe that coming third in a talent contest justifies the term “third rate”…), who, apparently, are deemed successful merely because they have a large following on Twitter! And what is Radio 4 doing playing music of a popular nature, more suited to a fashion outlet, first thing in the morning? Spoiled a perfectly pleasant bike ride. I’m more used to details of international conflict and national economic crises’ to set me up for the day.
Am I the only one who, until this morning, had never heard of One Direction?
I am pleased to note that a commenter reported that this band has a very long way to go before the numbers of real live fans match those of the Beatles.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
