  • Shit, whaddya know? I've always liked this song. Also "Claire" and "Alone Again, Naturally".... All rather Morrithetic, if you think about it.

  • Fine just fine, another bootleg to find. I am happy though really, I would not have expected it in a million years!

      I think he was joking about that...he said "You'll all be pleased to know that we've signed a new deal...*huge cheer from crowd*...yes, it's with Super Valu" (Super Valu is an Irish supermarket, I suppose like K-Mart in USA or M&S in England)

    From an Irish Times Article of march 20, 2001

    "With topics ranging from death and suicide to genteel, fond and punning songs about love, girls, marriage and childhood, O'Sullivan stood out in the early 1970s as a weird antidote to prog and glam rock. It could also be argued that he was one of pop music's first true miserabalists and that, lurking in a suburb in Manchester, someone called Morrissey was humming along to the likes of Nothing Rhymed, Alone Again (Naturally), Clair and We Will - in each instance wordy, colloquially-framed, superb self-pitying pop songs"

    You can hear Morrissey humming Nothing Rhymed now at mrs. Shankly's. I think it sounds great. At least it's not pub-rock arrangements for once.

    Cheers,

  • And what the fuck is up with the person barking and howling in the audience before and during the song?
    Pretty fucking disrespectful to Moz if you ask me. Is that what happens when you drink to much Guinness?
