So,
One Direction are currently bigger than The Beatles?? Oh how I laughed!!!
As
most of you probably already know this week, whilst thoroughly pissing myself
laughing, the cuddly little pre-pubescent One Direction ‘cracked’ America and
got to number one spot on the Bill Board top 100 (I was trying not to do my
Casey Casem impression while typing then) which brought comment from various
music journalists to draw comparison with The Beatles!
Thousands
of fat American kids flocked to see them playing sold out concerts in … er,
sorry, let me re-phrase that – thousand of fat American kids flocked to see
them in shopping malls playing (miming, no doubt) one song whilst people bought
their designer jeans and a hamburger, milkshake and fries with a free bout of
obecity thrown in for good measure
To
even call One Erection a band is totally against the meaning of the term ‘Band’
anyway – they are not a band, they nothing short than an experiment cooked up
by desperate Music Industry ‘insiders’ to generate one thing – money! (Which
the band themselves see about 1% of I’d reckon).
They
are like similar to four Justin Beebers bouncing around on stage generating
more Teeny Bopper’s vaginal juice than John Holmes did in the seventies!
Now,
compare this with the truly great band that are The Beatles! And yes, that
sound is the sound of John Lennon and George Harrison turning in their
graves!!!!!!
In
my opinion the only real comparison is that One Erection and the Beatles are
both British! THAT is where the buck stops! Period!
Finally,
as this Blog has been about The Beatles and One Direction, I’d just like to
mention One Direction’s current standing in the nice, cuddly, corporate, protective,
shiny world of pop music compared to one of The Beatles most famous of times
when they played on top of a roof with a few out of tune guitars and a couple
of amps! Can you really see One Direction doing that these days? I think not! To
be honest, they wouldn’t even be allowed within fifty feet of the fire exit in
case one of them were to faint with vertigo! (There’s a joke in that somewhere
if you think about it)
But,
in all seriousness, if One Direction suddenly learnt how to play instruments
and, I know I’m pushing the boat out here, write their own songs, I might just
give them a wee bit of credit
But
of course, pigs might fly! (One Direction – Down!)
