Suave raconteur and dinner party favourite. Once held the Olympic torch, has delivered newspapers to prime ministers, shaken hands with Prince Charles, wrecked Jason Donovan's skateboard, climbed 300 metre granite cliff faces, surfed with dolphins, appears on community radio and is in demand for these and the accounts of other thrilling exploits!

Its not me, it must be the kids who are out of touch

The other day I was in a car that had tuned into Triple J (I stopped listening after they dumped Merrick and Rosso then amped up their advocacy journalism). So anyway, I'm listening away to the current generations breakfast hosts as they discuss this decades Hottest 100 of all time (LINK). They invited listeners to participate in a quiz to win a copy and in the spirit of commercial radio they could win it before it goes on sale NEXT WEEK with LOTS of icy cold cans of COKE etc...

Anyway, long story short, they called Blur an 'Old' band.

When did that happen? When did Blur become old? I asked. I still remember watching the episode of Top of the Pops where Blur and Oasis went head to head for number 1 single one of the week.
Then I paused for reflection.

That was 1995. Way to go grandad.

Time for some remembrances of things past (HERE).
