Comment: Bruce on the way down, GNR Greatest Hits up??? Did Axl croak and I missed it? But the story is One Direction. I was shocked to see One Direction -Simon Cowell's suggestion that X Factor contestants make a boy band, at # 1. This is an Irish band, and I am not certain how the US heard of them at all. Then again, as the daily Telegraph noted, "clean cut, wholesome, middle class parent friendly pop: cute boys advocating puppy love. And what could be better than one cute boy, if not five?".
