To be fair, journos love BG cos he gives good copy (see also Morrissey - another Rock Star that really wanted to be a journo). I think it's the fact that he appears to lack any kind of a sense of humour that really nags me. At least Noel Gallagher is capable of laughing at his own plagiaristic excesses. Gillespie has none of that. He's the quintessential fan-boy-bore and should be lumped in with the likes of similarly earnest types like Weller ... who in a recent interview talked about playing Eton Rifles again because 'the country needed it'. Yeah Paul, just like we needed another outbreak of foot and mouth!
