REM's Everybody Hurts will be Simon Owl's charidee thingy

[Puggit]

Is it wrong not to look forward to the release of this very laudable project?

I can't see how they can possibly improve the song, which is amongst my very most favourites, and fear for the end result. I won't buy it, but will pledge money directly in lieu!

Now, I like Simon Cowell, but how can anyone not see the utter ridiculousness of it? there's been a tragic event and thousands need help - LETS PRODUCE A SINGLE!!!! for sake.

The simpsons did a mick-take when "Timmy" got stuck down a well ( "and we're sending our love down that welllllllllllll" ) - it's this to a tee!!



Would you believe I'm trying to get into this industry.

Wouldn't "Shiny, Happy People" have been more appropriate?

Cowell will be making a fortune out of this.

I heard about this in the car on my way to a meeting. My response was "haven't they suffered enough?"

I think SC is pissed at not getting xmas number ones and no one is likely to object to a charity single.

Bono, Sting and Chris Martin will, quite literally, be foaming at the mouth.

Good luck with that.

My father auditioned to be Kim Wylde's guitarist in the 80's, was offered the job but he conflicted with her dad (Marty Wylde?) and told him to go fk himself

And so went the shot at fame and fortune

(There's also the time he specatcularly missed the train for The Pretenders audition but we don't discuss that, it's still a sore subject)

I would've thought 'we built this city on rock and roll' would've been better.

Boom Boom Shake Shake the room

[JRM]

Wouldn't the Carole King song be better?

Robbie, Kylie, JLS, Cheryl Cole, Take That, James Blunt, Leona Lewis, Jo McElderberry , Mika, James Morrison, Rod Stewart.

No RATM vocals then, Simon?

I'm a big REM fan, and this song has been covered and killed to death several times before.
