Capitol Music Group Chairman/CEO Steve Barnett greeted the crowd, before introducing Umg Chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge, who marveled at the label’s growth since being acquired by Universal in 2011 as part of its purchase of Emi. Grainge stated: “As much as our industry keeps changing and as much as we have led its transformation, one thing remains completely unchanged… that we are the world’s best partner for artists.”

One time when I was a little girl, I decided to run away. I stormed out of the house and began marching across the football field behind our home, hell-bent on never seeing my parents again, probably for no better reason than they'd told me to clean up my room. I had no idea where I'd go or how I'd survive, but I knew one thing for sure: I was never going back home, no matter what. And I marched on.
But as I reached the end of the field, I looked down at my watch to see how long it had taken me to make the long trek, only to discover to my horror that it was almost time for The Monkees. I had completely forgotten it was Monkees night, and I had about ten minutes to turn around and run all the way back if I wasn't going...

The generation I'm talking about doesn't include the likes of Tim Roth and Gary Oldman, rougher sorts who came of age in the same period; I mean the public-school pin-up boys of the Age of Reactionary Chic, to borrow Peter York's indispensable phrase. What a time it was: the economy was in the toilet; the Falklands and the miners' strike were in the offing; and Mrs Thatcher was teaching a nation how to cry. In the British media and at the movies, there was a violent, neck-cricking throwback to a snootier, posher era we all thought had been snuffed out by the rise of the accented,...
