‘These are popular musicians? They look like normal people to me.’
In Britain you don’t have to be beautiful to get on TV or be a popstar. We don’t mind plain or ugly as long as you’re good at your job. You should see a lot of the UK newsreaders and TV presenters - they wouldn’t be allowed on the studio lot in the US! :)
That speaks well to British sensibilities, but I was thinking that nowadays most pop musicians feel obliged to present themselves as freaks of some kind, either in the way they look or the way they dress (or the way they act!). These guys just didn't look as if they fit the mold!
