That's Sir Ben, darn it, not Uncle Ben...

Ben Kingsley was knighted today, the only entertainer this year to receive knighthood. (Sade, The Bee Gees and boxer Lennox Lewis received honors, just not knighthoods. Indeed. One has a problem with Sir Barry)

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

So, do we refer to Ben as Sir Sexy Beast now?

Huzzah for Sir Ben! I saw him play Othello in Stratford-on-Avon once -- I never knew Gandhi could be Othello.

He was the VP in Dave, wasn't he? I liked the way he played that, although I'd hardly think any VP of the modern era would be so oddly meek as he did it.
