Dear John
(Does anyone else remember that show Dear John? With the theme song - Dear John, life goes on, by the time, you read these lines, I'll be gone - am I alone? Can I get a fucking aye?)
Anyone who has watched much of (Music) Max on Foxtel would be aware of the nervously painful show Later with Jools Holland. Jools is a diminutive British music addict who hosts a music show which about jamming - or jamin' for the kidz - with the hot music acts of the day. While the older episodes are painfully dated - the more recent episodes aren't bad. The shows gets loads of British local and top notch international groups.
Suffering in comparison is John Foreman's contribution to Friday nights, is The Big Night In with John Foreman.
Okay, firstly, that hair is a fucking disgrace John, a fucking disgrace. Anyway, right down to the flourishing cut offs of his assembled cats as he leads in from a commercial break, piano-side chats, and moving head shakes during a song, John heartily rips off Jools Holland's gig to a T.
The key difference is the caliber of acts that Jools and John get. Jools, quality. John... need I say more?
As an aside, imagine ringing your friends after you'd wound up playing in Russell Crowe's backing band? Could anyone ever take you seriously again after you'd publicly uttered the words 'Yeah, I'm playing gigs Russell Crowe'?
John's The Big Night In is running neck and neck with Hot Dogs' The Uplate Game Show and Ryan Fitzgerald's media career for the title of worst reality TV spin off.
No stars damnit.

That hair really is terrible...
Is this show of John Foreman's on cable? If so it has just re-affirmed my opinion that cable is a pointless waste of money.
Channel Ten on Friday nights.
I saw, I cringed, I flicked.
BTW, *crickets* re: Dear John.
Ugh, I'm staying away from channel 10 on Friday nights.
