Yesterday morning on the Chris Evans Breakfast show on Radio 2 he played Worlds Colliding by INXS. I've always loved that song and I was on my own in the car with no one to object to my dreadful tone-deaf singing and I was really belting it out. The end of the line "'cause we all have wings, but some of us don't know whyyyyy" simply can only be sung at the very top of your voice. I happened to catch the eye of the woman in the car in front - she was watching me in her rear view mirror - and I could tell she was amused.
A little later on, as I was parking up, Chris Evans read out a text from somebody saying that they had been driving in front of a 'middle aged woman who looked a bit like a strict headmistress, singing her head off to the tunes' so thanks Chris for the laugh. And you know, I couldn't help wondering if it was me, because I am undoubtedly middle aged, and although I wouldn't have described myself as looking strict, I do have short hair and sensible glasses, and I was absolutely singing my head off. So that is my very tenuous claim to fame.
