I’d heard that “Nothing Compares 2 U” and I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got had gone to number one in America. Appropriately, the moment I’d heard, I was sitting on a toilet (I can’t remember whose) with the door open as usual (for the purposes of easy chat). Whoever it was who told me got cross with me because I didn’t take the news happily. Instead I cried like a child before the gates of hell.
