They don’t make ‘em like this any more

Which, depending on your point of view, is a blessing or a curse. I fall squarely into the latter category – I can’t get enough of Frank, Dino, Sammy and co., and it’s fair to say that that era of music is among my favourite. Never used to be – the mention of Crosby, Sinatra or Como (Coma, to my hilarious brother and I) when I was a kid/teenager was synonymous with boring, tedious, old-age pensioner music. Now I’m 31. How times change.

Looks like they’ve been at the egg nog, and given the stories you read (especially about Martin), it’s probably true. Can you imagine the fuss the likes of the Daily Mail would make if two similarly popular, similarly pissed contemporary artists performed a routine like that on prime-time TV these days?
