The People's Chimp Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 How bad is that photo of rick astley? really, it's quite worryig to go from fresh faced (ish) pop goon, to chemical peel tory candidate in the time it takes to become the best artist in the world ever.

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The MTV (Europe) Awards and all they do all night is have on crappy American pop acts That added to the fact that every single presenter/winner mentioned feckin Obama being elected. They might as well have re-named it and moved it to LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Mr Tache, are you Rick Astleys number 1 fan or are you commenting onthe fact that said knob can win such an award?

Id imagine Rick Astley is benefitting. Therefore Stock, Aitken and Waterman will be too. Great way to get some cash in before xmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 I imagine they'll all be getting royalties (however they were divvied up contractually) from every time its played in public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GhostHunter Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Belushi I take it you're under 25?

Apart from some spare change for Astley & those vile creatures. These so called awards only 2 brits won. One is old and has not done anything of note for over a decade and the other ones Paul McCartney? Ive long ago become jaded with what passes as music nowadays, but i would hazard a guess that these 2 were not a true representation of your average european teens taste in music (god help us if it was). My point is that, could it in some way, through this rickrolling, be making greenbacks(as opposed to pounds or euros). Or was it cos he deserved it?

Carl Weathers Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I've been to his grave in Martha's Vineyard...and heard stories about the Belushi family that would make your hair curl... Do they have any 'Jaws' attractions there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GhostHunter Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Do they have any 'Jaws' attractions there? Strangely enough, no...at least not when I was there.. You get the ferry over from Woods Hole, but I don't recall seeing anything to say Jaws was filmed there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than Rick Astley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst on the mainland, prior to going over to MV, I toddled on down to Ocean Avenue in Amityville. It was dark, raining and windy - and the house had no lights on....absolutely sheeit myself when I saw someone walking down the path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
