Mike Skinner aka The Streets

[Heathray]

Talentless and a twat! Let there be rock.

[Holden MacGroyn]

No, no, no.
Let there be Lisa Scot-Lee in skimpy outfits.

[The Last Word]

I concur with much of the above - a dreadful mediocrity elevated to icon status by (amongst the usual media kow-towers) clueless Guardian readers for whom he represents a safe, toothless yardstick for what's 'happenin' on the streets' at the moment. And I can only assume those marking him as some sort of 'poet' have either not actually read any poetry in years, or have lost the ability to spot such crass, verbal offal. For the Jo Wileys of the world only, and I wouldn't trust her to pick me an apple.

OK as my tourettic outburst regarding the lovelt Streets has been deleted, I'll try a new angle.

Twat. Twat. Twat.

And a lot of the C word as well.
