Blur Drummer Is Running For Office

No, this isn't a late April Fool's joke. Blur drummer, Dave Rowntree, recently told The Independent that he intends to run in the UK local council elections as a Labour candidate, next month.

More from Dave, himself: "I've been a long-standing member of the Labour party and active in local politics for a while. I'm a Westminster resident and in my experience of living here, it all looks lovely - there are hanging baskets everywhere - but you only need to scratch beneath the surface and see that there's a lot of deprivation and a lot of inequality around. I think someone needs to do something about it."

Let's all wish him lots of good luck as the area is still very much conservative...
