Thoughts on "British Invasion" show on the Star?

I found the "lost phone" romance of the pop segment kinda stupid, but a lot of the music selection was outstanding, not just a bunch of obvious warhorses. I'd much rather hear Millie Small sing "My Boy Lollipop" than Sir Elton singing "Candle in the Whatever" for the zillionth time, but that's me.

 

I also adored how the taped intro to the ceremonies incorporated the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" and, unless my old ears failed me, The Clash's "London's Burning." Cheeky!

 

Hear that, Princess? Replace "Piano Man" with a show saluting the Clash, the Pistols, and the Buzzcocks. "Punk Man." Now that I'd line up for....

 

Not to mention the Smiths, Dead Kennedys, Joy Division, and Killing Joke and Depesche Mode... Though I am nt sure how well that will go over for some, I would like it!

Ah, yes.

 

Staggered boarding = "How Soon Is Now?"

 

Line dance class = "Follow the Leaders"

 

Dealing with Stewart = "(Let's Play) Master and Servant"

 

And for the Asian cruises, the ever-popular "Holiday in Cambodia"
