Maybe CD:UK should've taken Bob Geldof's advice and shown the tape of this
video and "fuck" the rest of what was planned.
Michael Jackson: Number Ones
5 Michael Jackson - One More Chance
That's what he's after but I doubt he'll get it before trial in January,
unless the key witness snuffs it before then as is possibly likely.
Thankfully the dreadful "All New Top of the Pops" didn't show this video.
They claimed it was because Sony said the tape wasn't ready. Perhaps it was
because they had an inept presenter and an even more inept exec.producer in
Andi Peters?
When the Thompson Twins were singing "We Are Detective" back in April
1983, perhaps they were talking about MJ when they said, "There's something
odd about his gloved left hand."
Shane Richie: The Album
2 Shane Richie - I'm Your Man
This year's Children in Need single, and rather a bland cover version to
boot. Still, it's been his year what with having one of the most popular
characters in Eastenders in a long time. I find you can actually tolerate
him now!
