    Eurovision 2024

    You are an intelligent man, Aubs, but on the subject of Israel you seem to delight in 'black and white thinking' - whereas, like most subjects involving conflict between human beings, there is a sea of grey. And this simplistic narrative - Israel = agressor and oppressor, Palestine = victim and...

    Eurovision 2024

    Is that a serious question? A group that crosses the border into Israel, carries out a pogrom against Jews, including gunning down people at a music festival, and then bleats about civilian deaths back in Gaza when Israel, quite naturally, retaliates. A group that uses the civilian population of...

    Eurovision 2024

    That is just not the case. Are you seriously suggesting that this is the first time we have seen such brutal, indiscriminate, systematic violence etc. (to use your words) carried out by a state actor in real time? You have described our television screens for the past few decades. And to suggest...

    BANG Showbiz / Yahoo! News UK: Dana Gillespie was invited to tea by Morrissey after he loved her Spent the Day in Bed cover (May 30, 2024)

    Very different in many ways - and very similar in others. Marc has a great line about as a teenager learning more from listening to David Bowie than he ever learned in school - which I'm sure is a line Moz would agree with. I'm a big fan of the 3 Soft Cell albums released in the 80s. Marc's solo...

    Question Songs about mail/letters

    What's your favourite shop? Morrissey: Rymans, the stationers. To me it's like a sweet shop. I go in there for hours, smelling the envelopes. As I grew up I used to love stationery and pens and booklets and binders. I can get incredibly erotic about blotting paper. So for me, going into Rymans...

    BANG Showbiz / Yahoo! News UK: Dana Gillespie was invited to tea by Morrissey after he loved her Spent the Day in Bed cover (May 30, 2024)

    Lovely words from Marc: Dana sings the life she lives and what a life indeed. The last of the great ladies of Bohemia, exotic troubadour and muse of Legends. An open mystery. A treasure waiting to be rediscovered, and famous for being unknown. The secret is out.

    It’s not about politics

    No, was merely suggesting that such views are 'mainstream' and not 'controversial', given their widespread prevalence across Europe. With regard as to whether they are 'left' or 'right' leaning, I think most people would agree that the traditional left and right spectrum is not helpful in many...

    BANG Showbiz / Yahoo! News UK: Dana Gillespie was invited to tea by Morrissey after he loved her Spent the Day in Bed cover (May 30, 2024)

    No, I think it's this chap: She told BANG Showbiz Managing Director Rick Sky during an outrageous two-hour video interview at London's Sanctum Hotel in Soho...

    It’s not about politics

    The other interesting aspect of all this, of course, is - who gets to decide who is 'right wing', or 'left wing', or 'far right', or 'far left'? The media? The government? Malarkey? Interesting too that 'the left' has now realised, even if Malarkey is still catching up, that these right and left...

    It’s not about politics

    It must be obvious though to most people that Waters isn't 'far right'. She's a left wing Irish lesbian vegan. She also happens to think that Europe would be better if immigration was controlled, rather than uncontrolled, especially where Islamic immigration is concerned, as Islam is a religion...

    It’s not about politics

    Oh look, the slowest kid in the class is back - ready to lower the IQ of every thread and drag everyone down to her level. Let's hope you used your detention to read up on world geography at least. Though clearly basic GCSE politics is still beyond you. Political scientists have frequently...

    It’s not about politics

    Everyone's a bit right wing on some topics and a bit left wing on some topics. And a bit no wing on some topics. The idea that terminology derived from 18th century seating arrangements in the French National Assembly is meaningful on all topics several hundred years later is just crazy...

    I will see you in far-off places

    Hope you've been using your time wisely, JM. Or unwisely, whatever floats your boat. Dipping in and out of Moz Solo - and social media generally - is definitely a good idea. It's always good to devote more energy to that thing called 'life'.

    So now you send me your hardened 'regards' When once you'd send me 'Love' Sincerely I must tell you Your mild 'best wishes' They make me suspicious

    Question Songs about mail/letters

    A note upon his desk "P.S. Bring Me Home And Have Me!" Leather elbows on a tweed coat -Oh!- Is that the best you can do? So came his reply: "But on the desk is where I want you!"
