Badly Drawn Boy

This brought back memories of Glenn Hoddle. For years, as a Spurs fan, I grew up admiring, ok, adoring him (if you never saw him play, his free kick was better than Beckham's and he had a shot like Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes rolled in one - or at least thats how I remember him.)And then during the summer of 1998 I realised he was a pratt. He made a fool of himself and shattered all my childhood memories.

Damon Gough (aka 'Badly Drawn Boy') has been held in the highest regard for a long time as a very talented singer/songwriter. Tonight he also emerged as a twat. Looking like Bill Oddie birdwatching in winter, he came on with an bad attitude and although the tunes were good he lost the audience's attention very early on. Even half a dozen rows from the pit people were chatting throughout his set. 'Boy' kept looking at his watch, announcing how long he had left of his set and asking for suggestions to what he should play next.

He may have had the biggest name but fell a long way behind in passion and ultimately, size.
