Wow, thanx for posting that vid, I didn't realise he had so many good, insightful things to say. My only slight negative comment would be that I believe the heads of the record/music industry are again run by the Illuminati and so everything that comes out from those companies is vetted by them but mostly is invented by them, the songwriters/producers etc. So if people believe that singers and songwriters are all "rebels" and are closely watched, think again, they are a PRODUCT of the said music industry. The only way you could probably have true, complete freedom was to do the whole thing yourself from writing to producing and putting it out on say, Youtube.(until it's taken off by those that control it...). What better way to infuence the masses then through...music...you only need to look at a few songs that are played backwards to understand, and not even backwards, many negative, controlling lyrics in songs are in plain sight. Anything that is perceived by the masses as a good thing, like music, can and is controlled by a higher authority.

True but dont get the same vibe from him as say someone like Bono .I think he has remained outside the mainstream industry enough to be coming from a genuine place .:D

most thought provoking!

Morrissey is brilliant, I also saw the Smiths in 1986 at Preston Guildhall they played for 3 minutes until he held up a banner which read in big letters THE QUEEN IS DEAD! Some moron threw a coin at him and cut his head open.... end of gig.... I highly recommend checking that song out if you haven't heard it, it is fantastic and very witty too... he is a very clever guy.

Its always a pleasure meeting another "SMITHSTER".Morrissey got me through the toughest times in my life.I love all his stuff,Rushome Ruffians is another good tune.:cool:

Nice to hear other members appreciate, perhaps, the finest band to come out of England, the Smiths. Morrissey is an amazing lyrisist and is very opinionated. I think you were right when you said that he has avoided the mainstream spotlight in the way such industry clowns, like Bono, have embraced it to boost there already inflated egos.
The Smiths were asked to play Live Aid, but Morrissey refused, insisting it wasn't for Africa, but a way for aging rock bands to boost their record sales... The music industry made millions the weeks following the show, far more than than raised for Africa.
It was the same for Live 8. For example, after their re-union at the gig, Pink Floyd's record sales increased by 1000% and even went on tour after insisting it was just a one-off.
Made them millions! And they had the audacity to campaign for the awareness of child poverty! Shocking.

I'll never tire of listening to 'There is a Light that Never Goes Out'. Obvious choice, but a classic nevertheless.

"A rush and push and the land we stand on is our's. It has been before so why can't it be now..."

Always loved the Smiths and Morrisey. This Night Has Opened My Eyes is a very powerful and tragic song.

I was at that too, they came on-stage at about 10pm or even later, if I remember rightly, on a bloody Monday night, I would've had to miss most of it anyway to get my train back to Manchester.
But....fantastic band.

soz jason but you ain't correct in saying they went on tour afterwards, the live8 gig was the first and last time waters/gilmour/mason/wright had played together since 1985. "last" can sadly be said to be definite since rick wright passed away earlier this year. that's not to say though that waters and gilmour both seperately have gigged sine 1985 with mason and wright occasionally drumming/keyboarding for them and playing various floyd tunes to boot. i honestly don't think they reformed to make themselves more money than they already had prior to live8. the only thing that was a shame about that gig was the length of time they got on stage, but then again if geldof had given them longer they might not have done it! :)

[jason_bourne]

My bad :p

[apekteina lordosis]

My bad :p

:D
no greater crime there is than slagging da floyd ;)

[infinite tea]
