A debate (of sorts, because yelling “YOU’RE SHIT!” at each other isn’t a debate) has been raging in another comment thread about The Beatles. It all started when the work of Lennon/McCartney was unfavourably compared to the work of Silverchair’s Daniel Johns. So let’s set the record straight.

Poll closes COB Wednesday.

UPDATE (4.45pm): Bron has pointed out in comments that she’d like to vote ‘hot’ and ‘not’ based on old stuff/new stuff thinking. I’ve added this option to the poll for others who are facing the same conundrum.

Innuendo coincidental?

The Age — as is its wont as a trashy, celebrity-driven rag — is today featuring a story about Silverchair’s Daniel Johns and “those” gay rumours.

Musician Paul Mac has revealed the distress caused by false rumours about Daniel Johns’s sexuality, after the singer’s break-up from Natalie Imbruglia.

Mac, who was incorrectly linked to Johns in magazine reports, said the entire episode was very upsetting for Johns, who was already devastated by his marriage break-up.

So do you reckon that The Age juxtaposing a photo of Paul Mac with a pic of Johns sucking a lollipop is completely coincidental?

News you can use

Of course it’s not.
