OH THAT'S RIGHT! I forgot about the John Howard likes His Bobness (but
err...not the lyrics).
I was thinking that Howard was probably in the Andrews Sisters, or Vera
Lynn. But it makes sense now.
I can't discuss Latham and Meatloaf anymore because I am afraid of being
blacklisted.

I mean if he had really got the spin doctors to work a little harder they may have come up with some more convincing alternatives. For example if he wanted to appear in touch with the present while completely threatening he could have said Coldplay. Or if he wanted to be seriously 70s retro perhaps he should have gone for KC & the Sunshine Band (now that would have been classy!). We know John Howard likes Bob Dylan (but not the lyrics). Mark could have been a real smartarse and said he liked Radiohead (but not the music).
