I thought ""Patience" was a top, top tune.
But Robbie? Bleee.
Wonder what this means for his 5 album umpty billion deal he was crowing about a few years ago?
It was all such 'nothing' music his stuff. In fact, I put down Robbie Williams' period as a big selling artist down to the sort of mass hysteria and delusion that gave us the gnashing and wailing following Princess Di's death. It was like... people had to like him.
I remember being at a party once and a few people were saying how much they were looking forward to seeing 'Robbie'. They asked me if I liked him, and being reasonably polite, I didn't say "I think he's an utter twunt and his music is rancid arse-flesh", I just said "He's not really my thing and I'm not really a fan.". The response was genuinelly along the lines of...
"HOW?! HOW can you NOT like Robbie?"
..as if I'd just announced I like seal-clubbing and eating babies at weekend.
Utterly bizarre!
