Just seen an article about the Closing Ceremony. Now's our chance to plead for our case, namely that it is not ruined by ageing rock stars, wheezing their old hits and displaying their hair dyes!
_Here's my list of the banned_:
*Paul McCartney+
Elton John
Cliff Richard
Brian May
Tom Jones
Kylie
Madonna [as if]
_Exceptions to the above_:
Mick Jagger and the Stones
Shirley Bassey
Elvis Presley grin
Any others for either list?

You didn't upset me either, number. We can't all have the same taste in music - or anything else for that matter! smile

We recorded it (though we missed the last bit, from the end of the Rio part). I enjoyed some of it, but the truth is, I just don't understand modern pop. Much preferred the opening ceremony, which I loved.

I don't know what it is about modern music - to me it seems tuneless and wailing and wobbly. But so many people DO love it that I guess it's just me. I never grew out of the Beatles, the Stones, and Queen. And a few others of course, but mainly from the 60s and 70s (NOT the 50s - too establishment, staid, and Doris Day)
