Dissing other bands for attention, in the spirit of the old school punks... great fun. Folks took Wire's ramblings a little too seriously, especially when the Manics have cited Freddie "I'm glad he died" Mercury as an influence (particularly on 'PfaYM').
Yes indeed, I'm just thankful we lived in such a tolerant time then, that we could trust ourselves to take things with a pinch of salt! The same was true of his comment about Stipe, it was about being sick of media speculation & celebrity hypocrisy, at a time when their much-loved manager was actually dying.
Tidal waves of anonymous hate and possible career cancellation terrify bands into not doing the same in this era. You'll struggle to find a bad review in any music magazine. I miss those days.
they mentioned tracie lords ,i saw an interview with a porno bird called brandi love talking politics and she was as intelligent as anyone ive heard talk politics .....even if it was american stuff....and she wasnt a democrat !
I couldn't even slightly agree more. Politics is Bolitics. A load of pointless headache inducing horsenonsense. I only subject myself to it because Professor Tim Wilson on TH-cam really likes it or something and I really like him. Plus Nigel Farage and Greg Gutfeld and Michael Gove and Michael Fabricant and Dr Liam Fox and Greg Hands and so on. But I hate it all utterly.
He was so happy with Richey

He was Nicky Vicious or Sid Wire when he said that glad he died thing.

Couldn't quite work out why he thought a field in Glastonbury was a shithole...
