Wasn't Colonel Tom Elvis Presley's manager?
Back to reality (reality TV more like), it must be the dream autumn of one's life to raise so much money for charity, have a no. 1 single, get a promotion and 140,000 birthday cards, have an RAF fly-by, hava a train names after him and, I hear, there are rumours of an OBE or similar. I am so pleased for him.
I'm going to put my curmudgeons hat on,
It all feels rather like a distraction, lets face it there are loads of people who have volunteered for years supported charity's, the country, etc that never receive any recognition and then this chap comes along a walks up and down his garden and raises millions because well I don't know, and suddenly gets a fly past, military honours, public recognition, and now possibly a gong.
I am a cynic, and wear my cynics badge with pride but we can move on now the things done, leave the old boy alone or there'll be a petition to make him pm soon.
And the number 1 single is bloody awful which reminds why I stopped paying any attention to charts years ago, it's just trying to squeeze as much out of something folks have found to latch onto as possible.
