Well, not only has a major controversy erupted over the credibilty
of Kylie Minogue and importance of record charts, but another
interesting thing has come out of all of this.  By the way, all this
started when I innocently posted the track listing of Kylie's
GREATEST HITS album in this newsgroup.  It's amazing how
"controversial" such a track listing can be, when it causes
aus.music to be drowned in articles stemming from that!
But, back to what I was saying - yes, some interesting pieces
of humorous wrting has come out of all of this.

JONATHAN GIFFORD kicked things off with his amusing piece
of biblical-style prose about the 'holiness' of the charts.

ANDREW NORRISH then set the scene with his humorous little
scenario inside the Minogue household, with Prime Minister Brain May 
outlawing the ARIA charts, and myself as the cloaked star, emerging
from the phone booth, ready to save the world from the evil
anti-chartist, Brian May, in 1994!!!

This is fantastic!!! C'mon all you budding writers out there,
put fingers to keys, and churn out some more stuff!!! 
We can then collate the stories, and bind and publish
the lot in dedication of Kylie!!!

By the way, for all you chart-lovers out there, Kylie is
kicking ass on the Aussie Charts, crashing into the top 100
at #37 (first week in!) with her brand new single, called
WHAT KIND OF FOOL (HEARD ALL THAT BEFORE).  Not only that, but
listeners of FOX-FM and MMM in Melbourne can't get enough of that
song, as that song is shooting up the listener run charts
on those stations!!!  Kylie's song was the 7th most requested
song on the FOX on Friday night, while tonight, WHAT KIND
ON FOOL is the 6th most requested song!  It's on right *NOW*
on the radio!!! "I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR REASON, I'M NOT
GIVING YOU ANOTHER CHANCE...." (excuse my singing!!).  
Gee, I love that song!!!  "WHAT KIND OF FOOL DO YOU TAKE ME FOR, DON'T 
WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE NO MORE.....BUT I HEARD ALL THAT BEFORE......
....WHENEVER I HEAR YOUR MUSIC SINGING THE SAME OLD TUNE, YOU'RE SURE THAT I 
CAN'T REFUSE IT, BUT DON'T YOU SPEAK TOO SOON....BUT I HEARD ALL THAT BEFORE..
....WHAT KIND OF FOOL DO YOU TAKE ME FOR....".  Oh no, the song is
finished....what's this being played now?  Oh no - Brian has done it!!!
Prime Minister and anti-chartist, Brian May, has hijacked the FOX
and made them play a track from the Clouds!!!!  Come back Kylie......
