Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Bahnhof Strasse]

“Happy New Years”? What? Several of them? It’s “Happy New Year”.

Don’t mock, he went to a shit school, same one that the other renowned racist, Churchill went to.

The car insurance dog is racist? Oh yes! I mean oh no!

Another one of those annoying Americanisms like "anyways".

Perhaps Foxy is eyeing up the prospects of Trump II and wants to break America?
We'd miss him wouldn't we?

 

[philosophical]

The cow can't read your words Fox because it's fucking dead you prick, and your stomach is part of it's graveyard.

 

[scifisam]

Another one of those annoying Americanisms like "anyways".

It's meant to be a possessive, not a plural though (short for new year's day).

 

[brogdale]

Assuming that's what he meant, Fox requires a grammar-Nazi...somewhat ironically.

There's quite a lot of thinking in that song that he could have latched on to :
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody, do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue



That Green Day aren't lock step 'behind' Americas first reality TV President , to me seems quite intellectually consistent., and far from moronic

Dear Jeremy Vine please don't invite him on to murder 'No more heroes'

Laurence Fox's politics are exactly what bands like Green Day are speaking out against!

 

[Yossarian]

So he's claiming that Green Day are among his "influences and heroes," but he's only just discovered that they're not big fans of Republican politicians?

Says you.

Green Day seem quite capable of representing themselves

Remembering how this 'new media' site was seeded...

[SpineyNorman]

It's a bit like when they all started crying over rage against the machine suddenly and without any warning whatsoever turning woke isn't it?

Imo after the first 3 albums they've been a bit shit but the idea that this is some kind of left turn is madness.

 

[Pickman's model]

Imagine how poor Green day must feel, finding out at least one of their celeb fans is a thick as pigshit racist wanker

 

[SpineyNorman]

They were big supporters of pansy division and the queer punk movement in the 90s too.

Same with Public Enemy, the right only realised lyrical content and ideologies fairly recent

Mainly because they spent most of the last 30 years grouching about how you couldn't hear the lyrics with these "modern" bands, what happened to proper music, etc., blah.

 

[MickiQ]

The thing with songs is it is often too easy to put your own interpretation on the lyrics that is completely different from the writer may have actually meant. I always use to think that "Every Breathe you Take" by the Police was a love song. Just before Xmas I saw a program that claimed Sting wrote it because of his bitterness about his divorce from his first wife and if you listen to it knowing that it sounds completely different.

 

[philosophical]

Even though it is denied I think Hotel California is about Heroin addiction.

 

[PR1Berske]

Given the circumstances of the band at the time I wouldn't be surprised

It's actually a very sinister song about obsession and stalking.

Well at least its not about Stewart Copeland's Dad being in the CIA

Thought everyone knew that, tbh.

That said, took me several years to realise that The LA's song was about heroin...

Other Police songs are equally creepy, Can't Stand Losing You, for example.

Don't stand so close to me is noncey as fuck too

 

[Serge Forward]

Kinnell. I just looked at the lyrics to that

Quite an eye-opener when you do that

 

[Serge Forward]

Aye, a right shocker.
