Happy birthday today to perhaps the most plastic of 80s "stars", twins Matt and Luke Goss of Bros...
The success of Bros was a complete mystery to me. Their songs were lowest common denominator pop, their voices weak, and their dancing was a bit "Geography teacher" - they weren't even fanciable! (They sacked the pretty one early in their career.)
Yet their legend is still there etched in the memory, if only (in my case) for that marvellous parody of Bros doing "Star Test" by French and Saunders back in the 80s. [Now unfortunately removed from YouTube and the rest of the web.]
Yet now after all the ridicule, Matt Goss has gone and got himself a residency at a Las Vegas casino - how strange...
