That’s because singers are the only people in the band. The rest are just hangers on
Ballroom Blitz is the only song where the singer checks if the other band members are ready before the song starts. He makes every other singer look like a thoughtless pig

Four heads. Infinite noise.
Led Zep bent reality.
This isn’t a black & white photo. It’s the sound of the universe rewiring itself in absolute colour

Iggy Pop, shot by Anton Corbijn.
Half man, half scar tissue.
A voice like Sandpaper.
A body carved by punk, a stare that dares you to flinch.
This isn’t style. It’s survival.
The godfather never needed a shirt, just a stage.

Jimi and the Theremin. Jimmy Page turned the theremin into a weapon of sonic sorcery. No strings, no keys — just hands in the air conjuring chaos.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Thought experiment for Labour…
With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?
