There's an interesting new campaign on Myspace to get UK music empresario JONATHAN KING removed from the British Phonographic Industries (BPI)' "Man of the Year" honour (which King achieved in 1997.)

If you're unfamiliar with King, you're still familiar with his work. He's been a colorful svengali in the music business for over 30 years now. Among his many achievements, King was the brains behind the "original" boy band, The Bay City Rollers. He's also produced many Brit Awards ceremonies, sued the Pet Shop Boys, masterminded the UK entries in the annual Eurovision contest, and has had several UK chart singles under a variety of monikers.

Oh, yeah, and he's also a convicted paedophile. This is where the story gets interesting.
