I'm gonna wait for Beyonce's hip-hopera to air before I answer this.

No. Absolutely not.

Next question...

I'm not sure...I mean they should be allowed to...but I sort of get the idea that if Thom Yorke started painting all the Radiohead fans would say they are great regardless of their actual quality. It's like we get exhibitions of celebrities painting pictures of celebrities, and other non-celebrities don't get a look in. It could turn into a cultural monoploy. I hope Damon Albran doesn't get any paint brushes for his birthday.

I think that TVP song concerns the location of Syd Barrett's estate although it may also mention his paintings.

Thanks Steven, but I was joking :-)

Zounds! Joking about Barrett will get you nothing but trouble etc etc

Argh! James! Damon Albarn is case in point- he's a pretty good songwriter, but as an ACTOR, he's Utter Rubbish. I rest my case.

He's been acting like he's a rock star this whole time now, I should note. AND FAILING.

Country & Western singer Kenny Rodgers is also a photographer. He's good at it too. He does some nice studio portraits.

Bryan Adams does celebrity portraits if anyone's interested...

I will be hurt by certain un-named persons if I do not point out the astounding contribution David Bowie has made to the dramatic arts, especially in Labyrinth.

I've had Kenny Rogers roasted chicken and liked it. A tad salty though.
