This is a really thoughtful, insightful post on the X-Factor v Rage Against the Machine thing (and a good excuse to put up a picture of Saint Cheryl) and what it really means for music, popular culture and planning campaigns that genuinely capture the public imagination.

As a person I hate the X-Factor, as a planner I admire it…too many people self combust with hatred at its success rather asking what they can learn from it….
