    I often hear people going on about , Boybands and 'created' acts have damaged the good name of Pop Music and "it wern't like tha in the ole days............"

    It feckin' was!

    Here's the evidence-

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/piao/

    A documentary series on Music Managers from Auntie Beeb from the 60s onwards.

    Have a listen to the first one on Larry Parnes - remind you of any local Manager type who also judges on Talentless shows?

    Show 3 is on 'The' Pink Floyd's manager Peter Jenner. He also managed Andy White, for whom I did my first FOH club tour in 1990 around the UK in the back of a transit!

    Things have changed a bit now with the manufacturing process becoming the real show.
