(Gibson) Blur's bass player Alex James was given an honorary doctorate by Bournemouth University last week. The pop star became a Doctor of Arts at a ceremony in his hometown of Bournemouth, England.NME reports that James said, "I'm absolutely chuffed to bits, but not as chuffed as my mum who's doing somersaults in the corner somewhere. It feels hugely flattering. It's a great honor and what's really nice is coming back to Bournemouth, which holds a very dear place in my heart." James also reminded everyone that his band Blur came out of an arts education program. "Blur formed in an art college, very much the product of an arts education system," he said. - more on this story
