My bad. I forgot, the line between New Wave and Rick Astley, Nick Kershaw and Howard Jones is thinner than Phil Collins hair ain't it? [:D]

Or just someone they can get of hold of to fill the line-up.

..keep telling yourself that whilst Toyah counts her millions...

With regard to the biggest ever 80s lineup at an outdoor festival, I'd have to assume that the 1983 lineup at the US Festival has it beat.

Regardless, this lineup has some cool bands that I would love to see - China Crisis for starters!

If she had millions she wouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Sure she needs the money, doubt she could make ends meet from song royalties, and since she's been struggling for relevance since the 80s, no reason to quit now. Besides, someone's got to support the big name acts on the bill.

Foolish peasants....an interview was conducted a year ago in the London Financial Times, speaking to Toyah Wilcox Fripp about the millions she's made from clever property investments she's made through the years, spurred on by success in music, films, theatre, and television(she's gone from hosting a VH1 UK series a decade ago called "Toyah", to being the initial voice heard on the international "Teletubbies" series, to continuous theatre activity in the UK.....and being married to Robert Fripp since 1985 allowed her to option to do absolutely nothing if she wanted...turns out that she enjoys the music phase of her career, and could care less about clueless miscreants have to say...

Sounds like a wise option... ah, hindsight.

If what you say is true, at least Frippy is being compensated for having to roll over each morning and look at that fucking mug. Still, all the money in the world can't make her a star, in spite of her voice overs for the Telletubbies.

Now let's discuss the more significant artists on the bill like Cutting Crew and Rick Astley.

what a devastating retort....
and as UK 80s ****STAR*** Toyah continues to count her millions,
you can continue to play "The Chicken Dance" for the masses...
cluck,cluck....
