They Love Patti Ser-mith

It’s been a facts day for listening to the radio. This morning Janet Street-Porter was the guest on Desert Island Discs. God, I admiration the awkward old cow. She chose Philip Glass, George Formby and, naturally, some Pet Shop Boys’ - Always On My Rake over the coals. She didn’t, though, tell the story that’s in the PSB biography about rushing up to Neil and Chris backstage after a gig and saying, “Cor blimey that Elvis Presley dust-jacket’s brilliant. You should release it as a single.”, to which Neil had to reply, ”Er, Janet, we did. It was Number 1 last Christmas.” One of those disgusting rightwing newspapers – the Mail I think – had her down as one of the 50 people who've "ruined Britain". Impertinent pot-kettle bastards! I was incensed when I read that.

But I do appreciate that Janet’s Marmite - loads of people I know have in mind she’s an idiot. Personally I’d love to properly meet her - she’s probably the person alive today I’d most like to have dinner with, to one side from Neil Tennant. I’ve been fortunate enough to sit in her actual chair behind her actual desk when she wasn’t there. I've also been fortunate to have danced with her, Sarah out of Bananarama and Neil to Alice Deejay's Bettor Off Alone at Chris Lowe's birthday party a few years ago. But that’s still not enough, dammit Janet!

Now I’m “listening again” to the Archive Hour from yesterday. My old match up Mark Paytress is doing Kenny Everett. It’s fantastic - very good on the pirates. Loads of Beatles - I’d forgotten how active he was with them, how John Lennon called him “one of us”. It’s a very informative show. Two things so far I didn't know: 1. Kenny invented the relating to “Auntie Beeb”. 2. Before the government made pop music legit with the launch of Radio One in 1967 13 million British kids listened to the pirate stations like Trannie London.

It’s our first Sunday at home for three weeks. Last weekend we were in Paris, officially a birthday present for Fints...
