Re: The wannabe popstar who conned his way to fame

Thanks for posting Paul, that is an interesting read! So presumably, unlike say Millie Vanillie, Eames could actually play / sing and had a set of his own songs for the band he formed. So why not just build from there? I guess his ego must have got the better of him, a shame but doesn't it also say a lot still about lazy music biz people who don't seem to even have bothered to check out his claims / boasts on line and find the same flaws in it all the guy from one of their support bands did?

Thanks for the imput Paul.

I find the idea that someone would intentionally demonise themselves to gain attention seems to me to be particularly arch.
