The Smiths instrumental b-side was used as incidental music and as the music that rolled during the credits in Channel 4's '10 years since the Brighton bomb' programme. I thought this was kind of ironic considering Morrissey's attitude towards Thatcher and the controversial comments he made in the press at the time of the incident... --- Kevin Lloyd also writes: A tenuous Moz link perhaps, but thought others would be interested. The Smiths instrumental track 'Oscillate Wildly' was used on a BBC documentary last night about the IRA Brighton Bomb in 1984, in which Margaret Thatcher narrowly escaped death. The track was played over the introduction and end titles. It was used over aerial shots of Brighton and set just the right sensitive tone for what was a pretty horrible event, no matter what views you may have of the Tory party. Thought it was an interesting choice given Morrissey's views on this subject.

Brighton Bombing (Score:2, Insightful)
As much as I love Morrissey's music and agree with almost everything he says - I believe his comments about Brighton were wholly inappropriate. Watching that documentary reminded me about the whole event, and further emphasised the ridiculousness of what Morrissey said about it.
But, then again, political correctness isn't always Moz's way is it? As I recall, even his dad was amazed by the Brighton comments. I suppose Morrissey's outspoken manner is part of what interests us, even if we don't always agree with what he says.
