No surprise really:

Happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into
E-enter-prize

Love song
Love song
Love song

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise

I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable

I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies

This is not a love song.

Just seems that he has just given up with things to go and do something like this. I expect it from Hammond, but not him..

The best bit is he talks down everyone else and makes out he still a hard core punk - a punk that's a property developer and flogs butter.

Not seen that one ! Who would've predicted any of 'em would sell out back in '77 ?

But Lenny Henry confirming, nay celebrating, the demise of his own career in those ads for Travel Tavern's 'Grief Holes', now.....WTF is all that about...?

Recently I observed Paul Daniels receiving a welcome glimmer from Tescos too. What happened ? Derren Brown tell 'em to Fukc off ?

But would'nt that association be forever linked with the notion that Butter is going up again?

No harm in butter going up providing it's best butter Jon. My concern is who's putting it up!

That advert made me do a double take too. Truly, truly bizarre.

Then you have Iggy Pop (his song Lust for Life anyways) doing commercials for Carnival Cruise line.
