Late Night Warbling
Last night I happened to catch a repeat of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on UKTV Gold. I was very please to find that two of the guests were Ewan McGregory and Charlie Boorman. They were on promoting their series Long Way Round which tracked their round the world motorcycle journey back in 2004. Anyone who knows me knows my penchant for Mr. McGregor. I mean, look at that face. How could anyone not love him? I try to watch (and enjoy) anything he is in. Blake and I even saw him in Guys and Dolls in the West End last month. One notable exeption to this is the horrible 2000 film Eye of the Beholder starring Ewan, Ashley Judd, Jason Priestly, and kd lang but that's not for here. Anyway, Ewan and Charlie were there usual charming selves and I was very pleased to have stumbled across this interview.
Imagine my horror to find that another guest on the show was Nancy Sinatra. She was promoting her CD entitled Nancy which she had apparently recorded between face lifts. As is the norm on chat shows when musicians (and I use the term loosely here) show up, Nancy stood up and did a number. God, what a boring performer! I'm not saying she has a bad voice... it's just very weak. It was as painful for me to listen to her song as it obviously was for her to sing it. It's obvious that Nancy is only a celebrity because of who her father was. It's not like she has some amazing talent or anything other than posing for photos in skimpy bikinis in the 60s. I mean anyone can manage to put out a hit song or two. Look at Pia Zadora for god's sake. I know that Nancy's boots were made for walking but her voice is not made for singing.

Now while I agree with you on Ewan (a Scottish accent is like my ancestors calling me home...to have nasty pig sex I suppose), I happen to love me some Nancy. Granted, I've not heard her live, but I love some of her old stuff (her version of "Bang Bang" is ALMOST as good as Cher's), and the song Morrissey wrote for her earlier this year is fantastic. So don't knock her...you know none of us are long for the Botox ourselves!
Oh, and Ed, did you know I was a pageant winner and semi-celebrity over there in the UK? http://mrgayuk.co.uk/home/?topic=812
*screams*
A real life Mr. Guy UK sort-of-type.... I've never met one before.... actually, reminds me of the UK version of Playing It Straight.... the guy who won we all knew was gay from day 1 as he's a former Mr. Gay UK. Silly woman obviously had no gay friends!
