I always kind of liked it, but I just thought it was kind of dumb to write a song about cake, however good cake may be at times.
Will listen again!
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave.

I still can't get my head around the idea that Andrew Lloyd Webber is a national icon.
Ian, your signature makes me sad.

For the sake of your own sanity, I'd avoid the UK like the plague for a while if I were you,even Simon Cowell is revered like a god....so the Andrew Lloyd Webber worship seems only mildly annoying in comparison.,....
Second of all, he has every right to state his opinion. If he thinks that musicals have been shit ever since the 60's then he has every right to say so.

Personally, I like thinking of the UK National Icon to be more along the lines of Churchill or a bulldog.
is there any difference hurr
Well I'm not sure he is a national icon to be honest, that seems to be more of an idea promoted by the press. I mean he's certainly talented and popular, but I don't think he's quite as adored as people would like you to think.
Stephen Fry's a good example of a modern national icon, both the press and the public love him to bits.
only if you buy me another slice of real estate.Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake.
Even better - did you pick up on Adam's little dig at the U2 internet community?? He basically said whoever listened to those beach clips had far too much time on their hands.
And btw I'm British and I can't stand Andrew Lloyd Webber, one of my favourite lines of a Roger Waters song is from his solo album 'Amused to Death' :
'we cower in our shelters, with our fingers in our ears
Lloyd Webber's awful stuff runs for years and years and years and years
all of a sudden an earthquake hits the theatre but the operata lingers
but then the piano lid comes crashing down and breaks his fucking fingers
Its a miracle"
Nuff' said.
In this months Q magazine when Edge was asked about the Spiderman Musical he was quoted as saying "Not wishing to offend anybody, I think musicals had their hay day in the 40's, 50's and 60's. I don't think there's been anything written since then". Do you think this was a dig at Andrew Lloyd Webber? He is a Sir but in Britain he is known as The Lord.
I know some of you hecks think that U2 are beyond criticism, and I do love them else I wouldn't have signed up to this forum, but I happen to think that Webber is an extreamely talanted man. I've never been interested in money. As long as I have enough money to pay the rent, my bills, food and the occassional treat now and again, I'm happy. But if I had just one wish it would be tickets to watch just one of his productions in Broadway or even just the West End. Who cannot be moved by Elaine Paige singing Memories whilst dressed as a cat.
Do you know what's the biggest selling single in Britain by an Irish artist? No it's not a U2 single, it's a song called No Matter What which was writen by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber performed by Boyzone.
And no I'm not joking. He really has upest me.
he did start with by saying he wasnt making a dig at anyone.
I think in some respect he is right: musicals were more popular back in those days. But obviously, decent stuff has been made since.
He didnt even mention The Lord. However his comments are obviously ridiculous as there have been many many superb musicals in the last few decades, over here in the West End and on Broadway. He wasn't even alive to see any in the years he was talking about, so how can he really give a fair comment? Perhaps he's just been seeing the wrong musicals
It sucks to be Edge

I only know Andrew Lloyd Webber's name because of the sitcome THE NANNY
besides that, I don't think that many people have heard of him that don't know what CATS is...

I saw 'Avenue Q', well about 5 minutes of it before I ran out of the theatre.
It was pathetic! I can't handle puppets. (why did I just watch ANOTHER 2 minutes?)
How did you manage to go see it without realizing the whole show was a bunch of puppets?

you're comparing churchill and thatcher? that's brave.
