OHHHHH, ‘AROLD!

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

 

[Malarkey]

It's nice to see him described as lovely.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

"...and when he (Moz) spotted a pony on it's own
in a field, he had to get out of the car and call it
over to pet it".

 

[BrokenFrame]

There's a free ride on
Tony the pony

 

[Les Tameside]

Saw him play with Peter Hook, in ‘94 (or maybe ‘95?). A mesmerising gig, although I don’t think its full significance alighted on me at the time: Durutti Column and New Order were simply bands I liked—so I thought I’d give it a go.

I hope, somehow, I can see him on stage again, with an appropriate sense of awe.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I love these kinds of stories about Moz. By all accounts he’s good-hearted weirdo in real life. Or at least he was when he was younger.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

And Vini has a face as mean as his life has been.

Iggy Pop frequently plays music by the Duratti Column on his BBC Radio 6 show. He hasn't played Morrissey for too long. Has anyone ever heard a bad word said about Vini Reilly? The usual comment is what an under-rated genius he is. It's probably fair to say that Morrissey too would have gone through a few lulls in media attention during his long and illustrious career, and news relating to him and music is regular enough even then. No matter what's next, may he be healthy, happy and peaceful in body and mind, and may U2!

Dear mr Vinyl Really

Don't know you either but thanks for the info. It inspired the following Earth Day interlude: It's called



Shrekissey
Shrekissey
How did he lose his colour?
Shrekissey
Shrekissey
The Pony Petter
The Donkey Whisperer
"DOOOOONKEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"
The world had never seen a cleaner
Vegetarian ogre
Dunking whatever
in Eco-friendly products

But
He lost his nature
Shrekissey
He lost all colour


Dumping waste forever
that's not even manure
Stuff nature can't use
ep.s lp.s cd.s
No use to bees
Ever seen a cow in a Shrekissey tshirt?
No that was Fiona
And that was a Bambi one anyway


Still enjoying pretty fields and pretty trees
pretty lambs
and pretty poppies
is your Shrekissey.
Vast grounds in the country
That the greedy poor
and the greedy needy
envy.

Green grounds as far as the eye can see
Only he leaves the car door ajar
As the Hound of the Barkervilles is not far
Ready for his jugular
Ready to make him regret


Poor Shrekissey
Once he saw his liver clean
Once he lived in harmony

But he became a monster.

A not green at all monster
In drunken flights of fancy
Never caring for what's happening below
Who cares if the land is ruined there?
He can always fly elsewhere
'Reminds him, $ask TayTay about the jet timeshare$


All those green bills!!!
No Shrekissey National Park
And not one pony sanctuary.
What could revive his colour?
Alas!
If only we could make Shrekissey
eat
all that money!

But he's just had a very nice lunch, you see...
In that fancy leafy part of the country
That penniless ogres dream of

And now he's off to pet Jesse
singing "my lovely horse."

This no clearly time for remorse
As long as human nature can be bought.
Is there?
