Brendan Benson, singer-song writer of Indie pop/folk ditties. Big friends with Jack White (White Stripes) with whom he formed Raconteurs with. Have seen him live endless times, like 3 times one summer, including a gig in Oxford that was cancelled half way through when the rood started leaking from a torrential thunder shower – we all got evacuated and we stood next to him in the kebab shop next to the the Zodiac.

“I’m hardly phased anymore
By your classless ways
It takes more than that
To amaze me these days
I stayed up late
The night before
I slept the whole way on the plane
And now my neck is sore
And it doesn’t really bother me
I just cut out any part of me
That’s been bruised “
