My prolific and funny blogger buddy Ben Varkentine has offered to interview me as part of a meme (yes, I’m doing them again, humour me). Here are the questions that he sent me:

1. Beatles or Rolling Stones, and Coke or Pepsi?

I can’t get no satisfaction! Those lips, those hips, those hits, come on - it’s got to be the Stones. I never really got into the Beatles, obviously it was all before my time but it’s no contest for me.

I think that Pepsi tastes better, but I’ll drink either brand. Whatever’s cheapest or nearest will suffice.

Pepsi does always recruit the coolest celebs for its ads.

Well, the Hoff is kind of cool…

And so is Mariah.

But between Gareth Gareth and the monkey? I don’t know.

2. Best song about London?

I tried to cheat for this question, as the only songs I could think of were a) that diabolical “London Bridge” by Fergie and b) “Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner”, but I still couldn’t find any thing else that I liked. So here’s the lyrics for the latter.

Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love London so
Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go

I get a funny feeling inside of me
When walking up and down
Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love London Town

3. How will history judge Tony Blair?

A respected statesman on the international stage, but also the guy who ignored the wishes of the British public and dragged us into a war that we didn’t support. If not Bush’s gimp or poodle, he was definitely Bush’s adoring little brother.

4. Be honest, now: Who had the best butt you’ve ever seen in your life-on film or television? What about in real life?

Just watch this:

Perfection.

And in real life, my gay-best-friend Miguel has a very nice backside (and he’s really proud of it).

5. Will George Michael ever pull himself together and remember that he’s a classic pop writer and we need him, or can’t he put down the spliff?

He can bring out the funk when he needs to, so I’ll forgive him the occasional spot of cottaging or inappropriate loitering. If you can’t behave badly when you’re a rich pop star, what’s the point?

I’d never seen this version of the video before today, I love it even more than ever!
