Ouch !! Right between the eyes there LK ! :lol:


As I said, I've tried, just can't get there. Also, he has always looked like someone you wouldn't let babysit your kids.

Are we talking people or music? One of my lifetime likes was big band leader Stan Kenton. I found out not long back that he supposedly sexually abused his own daughter in a book she wrote. Now he died back in 1979 so what can be proved is all up in the air. Point is, do I start hating the man or just remember the pleasure his music gave? I think it best to do the latter rather than start passing judgement on people we don't even know.

That the prick boasts he has bought a Rod Stewart album, ( and it's not even 1974); and then states he has deleted his ' sacred in the 80's' Fall albums, demonstrates that A. He is a prick. B. He doesn't realise The Fall are as relevant today as ever, as their latest album shows, thus displaying an utter contempt for that popliar indie stuff and the genius which is Mark E Smith. C He is a prick. The prick.

My first reaction was "who", then I looked 'em up :-) Heard a few by them, much rather listen to Motorhead thanks, but I wouldn't claim Motorhead "changed a generation", although they probably influenced a few of a generation and bypassed most of a generation by, rather like the Sex Pistols. Similarly, I'm sure that can be said of many, many bands.
I like Motorhead too, can remember this being odd amongst my peers at the time, liking The Sex Pistols etc and Motorhead etc didn't feel right with some of them :)
My dog (proper 57) had his anal glands emptied once and yes the smell is something to behold!!

Don't mind Artic Monkeys but the other 2 make you wonder why you have ears.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.
