I think he has good intentions but of course this doesn't mean it will be successful. But he does seem to be doing a lot of things these days.

They suggested it should be a degree in falling out with your band-mates. But I would be quite embarrassed to admit I was taking this course at University level. Maybe a short vocational course or something... Here's St Etienne's Bob Stanley's opinion: http://www.telegraph.co....-bound-to-lack-soul.html Edited by user 26 June 2012 11:56:39(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

I think Hooky has good intentions but I'm not sure if it'll be successful. Of course I don't wish him ill, but the commentary made good points.

Realistically, how many people would apply? How many would 'graduate'? How many of those graduates would be successful in one way or another? Surely, he may have good advice on what NOT to do, but like the commentary in the Telegraph said, there's no 'rulebook'. Hooky kept on talking about 'soul'. The Stone Roses 'I wanna be adored' had that lyric 'I don't have to sell my soul. He's already in me.' I think Hooky has already sold his soul, even though he seems to have good intentions with this project/course.
