Wembley Arena 1997

WET WET WET/MY LIFE STORY
London Wembley Arena

"BRING ME THE HEAD OF MARTI PELLOW!"
"Jawohl, mein Livefuhrer!"
But first we've got smaller fish to fry in the Bacofoil-suited shape of the tune-free dead-zone that IS My Life Story. Backstage the documentary cameras whizz about like wasps on methamphetamine, interviewing anything with a pulse about Wet Wet Wet. But our Jake (who is, after all, an artist) refuses to be interviewed because, an impeccable source tells NME, he's ashamed to be doing these support slots and apparently feels that his "credibility" will be compromised if the news leaks out! Which is daft, Jake, because you (amazingly) earn a living doing exactly what Wet Wet Wet do (churning out bland MOR songs for a bland MOR audience), with the sole difference being that you are totally SHIT at it whereas the Wets, goddamn them, excel. All of which begs the question: how the f*** did My Life Story ever get a record deal in the first place?! Conspiracy theories on a postcard, please.
