So the Kylie exhibition at Kelvingrove was a bit of a shock. You ought to go. It's tiny, free, massively overhyped, and absolutely heaving with people. Weirdly hypnotic too. Kylie, eh? Her constant reinventions effectively mirror Madonna's, except that M's are supposedly her own decisions. With Kylie I feel like someone *else* has dressed her up like a little doll. Someone rich and callous.
Still. It's free. So you can expect me to go every week for the rest of the year.
Most legitimately mesmerising experience of the week was Nick Stadlen's 2006 interview with Tony Benn, which I found as a podcast on Guardian Unlimited. It is just magnificent. I hope I really am the last person on earth to hear this, but in case you're in the same boat, go and download it now, and listen to it. Here's my favourite quote:
"There are some socialists in the Labour Party. There are some Christians in the churches. It's an exact parallel." (Tony Benn)
