Ageing rocker and erstwhile hairless wonder Elton John has had a go at the internet, bloggers and basically anything to do with technology in a story in Sneak's favourite red top tittle-tattle rag The Sun. Sir E of J told the paper he'd like to see the internet shut down for five years as an experiment to see what artistic creativity might flourish in its absence. Yeah, maybe we'd be really lucky and someone could write a sequel to Goodbye England's Rose.

While it would be easy to dismiss this latest outburst from the Queen Mum of rock as exactly the sort of ill-informed tosh one would expect from a sectegenarian ex-cokehead, Sneak thinks there may actually be some wisdom in his words. After all, the internet has a lot to answer for, not least the aural abomination that is Sandy Thom.
