No doubt everyone will be pleased to hear he's been realeade from hospital to recover at home. Is that non-alcoholic real ale, or summat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His up-coming tour hasn't been affected. Says his tour begins in Israel on April 19, wasn't he in trouble a few years back for a comment he made saying he admired the Nazis' sense of style? Probably didn't endear him to certain people there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted April 6, 2011 Sorry, but I can't stand him. I've always thought he was an odious peice of shit, lacking in any musical talent whatsover and spewing out right-wing drivel whenever he opens his mouth off stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do I care? No. The Velvets were superb and so were Roxy. End of... Hmph. I suppose I wouldn't wish him dead, disabled, or even lobotomised with his vocal cords removed. Maybe it's because I just can't get in to Roxy Music, but all I associate him with are images of swastikas, a dodgy John Lennon cover, torn up foxes and adverts for menswear. But I do recognise that's a pretty one eyed view, so long may he prosper and make others happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wont deny he has dabbled in the far right, but so did Bowie and I aint throwing away of his albums, bet even Billy Bragg doesn't! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I agree it's too early to open the way Westminster has for England, particularly in London. But it is the chance you take living in Soho. That's why I don't live in Sauchiehall Street!

Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted July 7, 2020 "He now seems to have undergone a metamorphosis into a grumpy old man. The working-class rock star, who once said the best thing about being in a famous band was the girls, tells me he fears his beloved Soho, where he has lived for decades, is about to be submerged beneath ‘a nightmare’ of squalor." Lol. I go through Soho all the time. Every weekend it's busy but it was only packed full at the weekend because it's sitting only in the bars and it was the novelty of them being open for the first time in months that drew such big crowds. He's lived there for decades and during that time it has always been a party district. In fact, arguably it used to be busier and there was far more pubs in the past. Gentrification has meant far more wanky expensive restaurants now occupy most of the units. Anyway, just don't see why he's moaning. Boomer wants attention etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted April 3, 2022 They're playing a 50th anniversary tour, with Ferry, Manzanera, Mackay and Paul Thompson. Not Eno, which might have been interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
