"This is a great piece of writing. I may or may not agree with it all – doesn’t matter, shouldn’t ‘ave to. I have nothing to add to the “debate” except that the debate gets on my nerves. I miss the days when people had to write a letter if they were annoyed about a review. I just want to read great writing, get fired up, get other ideas sparked off in my brain, talk to people about it maybe, y’know. That kind of thing."

Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday Roman Reloaded (Universal)
Great strapline from a recent Guardian article. Nice to see that women are no longer objectified: that talent is held up as more important than looks or a ‘smart mouth’ when it comes to talking about females.
