Untitled

Surely the backlash section should include the great NME headline: "You Can't Get Shitter Than A Thick Rick Witter" (Note for non-UK residents, this is a pun on the slogan of a chain of automotive garages called Kwik-Fit: "You Can't Get Better Than A Kwik-Fit Fitter").

I would include it, but I can't find a cite for when it first appeared, other than the dim recessses of my memory...

Why revert back so far?

Al lot of good changes were made to the article, which were considered badly written on 8th June. Not sure why you chose to revert to an earlier version of the article, which has ommitted a lot of good information that was well written from articles before 8th June??

Haven't they reformed?

At least they're gigging in 2010.
