[ ...not that McCain is evil, I just like the moniker from the 1972 movie with John Astin--Evil Roy Slade, the meanest man in the west... ] As any number of his colleagues has attested to--John McCain does not like to be contradicted.

Cheap, lousy backtracking at the BBC (Times Online - Guest contributors)

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 22:41:20 GMT

Traditionally, it's Slade from whom it's impossible to escape at Christmas. That song shadows us for weeks, recedes, then returns the next year to haunt us: a seasonal lyrical bogeyman. This Christmas another song has superseded it: the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's Fairytale of New York.

Pretty typical 1970's Slade output, I like it. And Roy Wood's Wizzard, with their huge British hit "I Wish it COuld Be Christmas Every Day", which I didn't get to hear until a few years ago thanks...

BBC censors Christmas favourite (connexions)

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:54:30 GMT

At lunch today, conversation turned briefly to the question of the best-ever Christmas pop record. My two favourites, running pretty well neck and neck, are Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ and ‘Fairy Tale of New York’ by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.
