Is Mark Ronson Real?
Posted Sun 6 Jul 2008 4:28PM BST by in Touching The Void
As a kid growing up in the USA, one of Ronson's neighbours was Sean Lennon, son of John. He recently admitted that during this time the pair watched porn with Michael Jackson. Not many people can say that, unless they're giving evidence in court. More recently, his Christ-like achievements include "Thriller" mastermind Quincy Jones lauding him as "almost my son-in-law", reworking Bob Dylan and The Smiths without getting lynched and becoming the first ever non-singing act to win a Brit, despite being about as English as American pie.
Anyone with a passing interest in his recent antics will know he fits more star-studded, creative athleticism into one week than many manage in a lifetime. In a bid to prove this, Famethrowa has obtained the exclusive details of his diary from the last seven days, which show just how much of a grip Mark Ronson currently has on popular music and the world in general.
