Just look at what is this week's #1, a song about a tractor! awful.
Whats in Meats favour is that he has a good following and proven track record. Unlike other's of his era Bat 3 isn't a 'come back', it is his latest album.
I just hope that Meat and is promo team realise that he is 'old' ( relatively speaking ) and go for an appropriate style i.e. don't make him look like an old man trying look young.
Watching top of the pop's on Sunday I thought 'Meat could wipe the floor with this lot' ( even Hard Fi who's CD i've got ).
One of my friends who loves Meat's music but has never been lucky enough to see him live commented on recent tour pictures of him 'doesn't he look old'.
Don't get me wrong I really want Meat to do well with Bat 3 but I think he and his people really need to think very carefully about the song they choose as a single and how he presents himself. I really hope he gets it right.
