Was that first paragraph really needed? It doesn't even make much sense given the rest of the review. :roll: Trying too hard to be clever I think.

What wrong with it? He gives them a good review.

I don't see anything homophobic there. Am I reading the same review as you?

If you'd seen and heard Simon Price interview the Human League on their Very Best Of DVD I don't think you'd ever think of him as homophobic, if you know what I mean :wink:

Not sure doll, just don't like how he introduces it, but never mind we'll agree to disagree, maybe wanker was a bit harsh!!

The only bad think is when he insinuates it's too much camp (I'm agree).

My girlfriend and ex-girlfriends don't think the same but who knows.

Least of all you, eh?

How much are your 'girlfriends' rates these days? An hourly rate?

INothing wrong with the review I think he more or less makes the observation about the lack of mystery and moodiness about the boys pre-1990, which arguably made them more interesting.

Hardly homophobic. Isn't The Independent gayer than the Guardian? It's no more homophobicv than Shelton or gayer than Nickname.
