BURBANK, CALIFORNIA - Claiming to be tired of playing "slick, faceless corporate rock", Kansas guitarists Steve Walsh and Kerry Livgren have apparently left that band and joined Toto. By way of greeting his and Walsh's new bandmates, Livgren announced, "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore!"

George Galloway is visiting his pal Saddam Hussein in Iraq. It's been a while so they're catching up on what's been going on with each other. Saddam is kind of keen to know about public opinion of him in the UK right now. "Oh," says George, "it's... not bad. Actually, you have a pretty high profile celebrity fan, the singer out of the Kaiser Chiefs."

"No way!" Saddam says, "I love that band."... Read More

"Yeah, he thinks you're misunderstood and he wants the Kaiser Chiefs to come and play a concert at your palace."

"Seriously? That's awesome, I'm going to start clearing one of the bigger rooms now."

"Mate, I was only joking. I daresay he probably hates you," George says, laughing.

"Aw... you had me going there you bastard!"

"Sir," says George, rising to shake Saddam's hand, "I salute your indie fatty gullibility."

A: John.

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 18 June 2009 12:51 (fourteen years ago) link

Yes, he was christened Simon John Ritchie but he was occasionally known as John too, hence the Four Johns (along with Lydon, Gray, Wardle)
