Success Patrol

wrightylew [Edit] [Delete] 21:31, 8 December '08

I'm really happy for the Snow Patrol.

After slaving away for years as a well-liked band unknown to the masses, they finally broke with Final Straw. I'm listening to it now. I loved it at the time, and its appeal (apart from Spitting Games and Chocolate) has remained.

Then they thought "Let's become rich." and became millionnaires with their turgid radio music that was lapped up by millions of fairly simple people.

Now Leona Lewis has covered Run, and its no doubt going to be huge.

I like the idea of them diving into money pools like Scrooge McDuck, despite the fact their music has deteriorated into horribleness.
