Last week tabloid newspapers reported that drum 'n' bass star Goldie was facing a police investigation, after allegedly assaulting a teenager who threw a peanut at his Ferarri. On one hand, the report merely stands alongside his wooden appearances in ''EastEnders'' as evidence that Goldie has abandoned his perch as the country's biggest drum 'n' bass producer and embarked on a mission to become the country's biggest nincompoop. On the other, it tells us something about the nature of British rock and pop stars in 2002. They no longer do anger properly. Nu-metal bands are frenzied with self-baiting angst, Radiohead mope about globalisation, So Solid Crew whine about "haters" on the garage scene, but anger is an emotion kept largely in check. It is unleashed only against paparazzi, the bouncers at the Met Bar and members of the public who throw pub snacks at your car. | Last week tabloid newspapers reported that drum 'n' bass star Goldie was facing a police investigation, after allegedly assaulting a teenager who threw a peanut at his Ferarri.
