I thought the drummer was Eric lewis Gardner???

Yeah, well, Tobias used to play with Frente and Alanis Morrisette. In that context, getting a guy from the Bravery is like getting Keith Moon.
Meaning?My idea of "bollocks" is confused rambling like this ^
It’s similar here in the UK. The rich leveraging the wannabe rich, the poor seen as victims of their own lethargy and stupidity. ‘Aspire’ and ‘acquire’ have become practically synonymous. The Right, realising they can’t rely on their true constituency (a tiny portion of the population) to shoe-horn themselves into office once more have become remarkably adept at turning the working poor against the unemployed poor. I’ve lost count of the number of times Tory ministers have cynically evoked the scenario of “hard working mums and dads” leaving for work early in the morning as their unemployed neighbours “languish in bed”. It goes on, don’t get me wrong, but the Tories don’t give a f*** about “hard working mums and dads” other than as a source of votes.
The fact that unthinking acceptance of the royals is the default position in a country that considers itself a democracy is utterly cringe-making. That they are now seen as basically harmless and rather loveable is a PR masterstroke, as is the 60p per head cost to the population, distracting us from the fact that we have abject poverty for many and gold f***ing carriages and actual f***ing palaces for others.
Long may Morrissey continue to drone on and on and on...
Nice to see moz enjoyed the Edinburgh gig as much as we all did
As for the olympics, I'm actually incredibly proud of being British at this point, the whole event has been incredible (I was getting a bit carried away watching the rowing earlier on today ...yeah that's right, the rowing !!! I'm from a small village in Scotland , it's not like rowing was ever part of my life, but there I was shouting at the tv wanting them to go faster, & I was genuinely gutted for the 2 guys who got pipped by the Danish guys at the end...the cycling tonight when the 3 girls won was incredible as well.
Its easy to be cynical , but I'm glad the majority of the country is getting behind the Olympics & and to this point it's been a brilliant success for Great Britain.
Morrissey, I am sorry but you are way of the mark with your comments! Comparing those of us who are proud to be British (not only because the Olympics are on) with the Nazi Germany of the 1930s is disgusting and unfair. I, like a lot of your fans in Manchester (decked in various tour t-shirts from years gone by) were watching the games in the square on the big screen while enjoying a few beers pre -gig and I think each and everyone there was cheering on team GB. We all have our opinions but sometimes it is just best to keep them to yourself! Enjoy the States and the yankee dollar that will undoubtedly line your pockets!
Lol! That's why The Great Leader started his Concert For National Cult Unity early, he found out that disloyal 'fans' were watching enemy propaganda on external big screens. Of course, he was too mean to provide a big screen for his own performance.

Morrisey is a prick and should be expelled
Somewhere Where he doesnt deserve
to wallow in the comfort of the democracy
of the UK, scumbag.
if he is so concerned about all those with
nothing, why doesnt he give them some of
his millions????
nö Chance..... Full of Shit and a disgrace
to Even call Himself British.
Dick!!!
I think the problem is not only about how much they cost the public but more about class and the haves and have-nots.
Here it is announced that the Queen's estate has risen above £400million while 4 million children in the UK are living in poverty. One of the highest rates in the industrial world. It's obscene.
Step to the plate and tell us all about it, kiddo.
No? Oh.
Well then boo hoo, baby. Boo hoo.
No, you brought it up; you questioned me, you took issue with something that was contrary to what you expected. In asking about it, confronting me unprovoked, you brought yourself into the equation via an inquiry, implying you would be affected by my presence here. If you didn't care, if you minded your own business, then one could only assume that the matter was of no interest to you and did not affect you. But clearly it does. Therefore it is indeed you who has to deal with it, the "it" being my decision to post here. It's very simple to understand.
I did admit to lying; the "lie" was posted for a whopping two hours before I recanted it, of my own accord. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't toss and turn at night over it...I hardly "shamed" myself. I merely cleared something up, because there are way too many legitimate ways to embarrass Crystal Geezer than to need to resort to lying, which is beneath my intelligence and character.
And, to be honest, as she seems to live and breathe by this forum, so I got concerned that because she had not responded/taken the bait, she was committing suicide. She's clearly unstable and has no root in reality. I was worried that if I had pushed her too far and crossed a line, she might be so embarrassed that she could feel unable to post here anymore...which would clearly be the end of the world for her. Therefore I recanted the story; I did not want any responsibility if she did something dumb and adolescent.
And no, you aren't exactly being "hostile"...you're being passive-aggressive, which is much worse, because it is still hostility but it is a very phony brand of hostility; imbued with self righteousness and ignorance. The ignorance, of course, being borne of an anger that you are not totally sure you have a right to feel in the first place; therefore you pussyfoot around your accusation until it is castrated into a limp-wristed insinuation.
If you're gonna come at me and try to trip me up, go the whole 9. Don't be a wimp.
yeah, he really does like to be on "both sides" at the same time doesn't he?sorry Morrissey but bringing up nazi's, it's Godwin's law,
you lost.
Whilst I agree with most of Moz's comments on the overbearing jingoism surrounding the London Olympics, it's a little rich of him, given his recent show in Tel Aviv, where Palestinians encounter (on a daily basis) treatment no different (or better, for that matter) to that of the majority black population in apartheid South Africa (Palestinians are forced to carry pass cards in order to get from one place to another). It'd be interesting to hear his comments on this (just a personal thought).
