Once again, the Sun keeps its finger on the throbbing pulse

I think we can all take the rest of the day - hell, the rest of the fricking MONTH off because, truly, a great event has transpired: David Bowie and Paul Weller have ended their long-running feud. Children, take to the streets with your Union Jack flags, it's like VE Day round here!

That certainly seems to be the consensus over at the Sun where the unfailingly insightful Bizarre leads on the story with the headline "Bowie Buries Hatchet", which must rank up there with "War Declared" and "America Attacked" in the school of truly historical moments captured by journalism. Apparently the two have slagged each other off in the past. But in this month's issue of rocker dad mag, Mojo, Weller says something nice and - oh, I really can't go on with this. Did anyone know that they were fighting? Did anyone care? Does anyone care about either of these persons anymore anyway? Whatevs. LiS is taking the rest of the morning off to slip into a coma.
