OK. Let's get one thing straight. I am NOT Boosh-bashing here. I bloody love them, but.... I've been thinking. Yeah, i know, thinking's a dangerous thing i don't do it often.
At the moment I can't help thinking that the Boosh are going off the point a bit. i mean, everywhere i read (NME) it's :
Noel's been talking to Alice Cooper and they're going to write an acid - goth musical together.
OR
Noel's been getting tips off U2 and the Edge about performing etc for the Boosh band / Festival.
OR even
Noel's been talking to Ronnie Wood about doing a new version of 'Where the Wild Things are' for the Boosh Book (even though Ronnie's in Rehab at the moment).
Really, it's got nothing to do with me, but what happened to the comedy? Deep down, you can tell Noel's always wanted to be a rockstar, so they're persuing the Boosh-Band thing, and now they're more famous and it's cool to be a Booshie all of a sudden (it's not just wierdos like me quoting lines at inappropriate moments and singing wierd little songs no-one's ever heard of) Noel's hanging around with all these celebrities etc.
Don't get me wrong, of course he can have friends, and it's fine to go off and do new things.
Sometimes i really do think though it's all gone to Noel's head, and sooner or later he's just going to forget about being funny all together, and persue just 'being a rockstar'.
He's already there really- always all over the tabloids, taking cocaine and apparently he had a breakdown? Sooner or later he'll be living on an island with a small indian boy...(sorry, i had to get that in). It's not like i know him personally or anything, so i'm probably totally wrong, i just get that impression. Julian, on the other hand, is being very sensible and staying out of the limelight.
I already know how much of a hippocrite i'll be when i automatically go out and buy the album, the book, and the festival dvd,even though it's more about the boosh being rockstars and nothing to do with comedy, but i'm still kind of annoyed about this.
The Mighty Boosh do deserve their success- the show is genius........just, keep writing the comedy guys, it's why we fell in love with you in the first place.

NME are a bunch of hypocritical twats, and the only reason The Mighty Boosh gets mentioned so much in it is because Noel is living a 'rock star' lifestyle now and looks a bit rock and roll.
No Noel, no NME mentions.
I'm clearly right.
I completely agree with you as well, it's an issue I've addressed a few times... But as long as they keep being funny, it's cool.
If it all goes down the drain...oh god. I can see the Boosh slowly falling apart as they dpo less and less things comedy-wise then eventually it'll be just the Noel Fielding show.
Still, I'm optomistic for now, can't give up on Noel, I mean, the boys just yet.
