....some of it totally useless.I didn't know Billy Joel (not a human rights activist) wrote "Big shot" about Bianca Jagger and nor did I know that Bianca Jagger is a human rights activist. Here she is writing in the Scotsman. She should get it together with Bob Geldof. Or Bono. Bob, Bono and Bianca (but not Billy).

Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
In your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
Well they were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
You Kept 'em so entertained
But now you just don't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
(etc)
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
Thanks Belt, I could only remember to tune (which has gone and got stuck in my head) but I didn't think it was a love song!
