| Re .0: So what he's saying, correct me if I'm wrong, is that he likes
the Stooges but doesn't like Led Zep?

I think he said a whole lot more than that Rod. I remember the
equivalent of "sheep" (or smt) adulating "drug-addled effeminate
Limeys"
It kinda sums it all up really doesn't it ? I think Led Zeppelin was a
misprint actually. I'm sure he meant the shitty mondays.

Anyone got the article in which pretentious hack rock journos are
shown for what they are? :^)

Judging by the name at the end, I'd guess he's suffering from a rather
disturbing split personality! (I can't spell Bollocks or Schysohprenia
- see told you!).

| 871.9 | Yeah, so what's he done lately? | ESGWST::RDAVIS | Why, THANK you, Thing! | Mon Aug 05 1991 20:43 | 8 |
| Hmph, this "Bangs" guy (what a stupid pseudonym!) sounds like he's just
jealous. Like all critics.
If he could squeal as good as a drug-drenched porker like Robert "Call
Me Johnson Please" Plant, he'd be casting his organ of generation
instead of aspersions.

| Hmmm...Tony Parsons wrote in a similar style to this Bangs fellow
if not a tad more vitriolic. Now look at him, he's written a George
Michael biog and given up his former "take no prisoners" style. Sad.
As for Burchill, is she still writing for one of the broadsheets?
Barry.
p.s. One hack worth a read is Steven Wells of the NME. Never a
dull moment.

The .0 excerpt is from one of Bangs's earliest efforts. Long before
Tony Parsons learned how to paste cutup newsprint, Bangs had moved on
to spews of vitriol still unmatched for tangy consistancy. (Picks to
hit: "James Taylor Marked for Death" and the Eating Elvis Presley's
Corpse piece.)
In yet another uncanny bit of foreshadowing, Bangs cowrote a book about
Rod Stewart, the George Michael of his time.

| Burchill has made her fortune writing the ninties equivalent of a
bodice-ripper, and contributes to the Sunday Times, occasionally. She
still has some acid left, but it's being thrown at the wrong faces, on
the whole. She is married to an accountant. I met her once at the NME,
nice woman, I thought (Oh for God's sake Piers, I thought you'd
_promised_ no more name-dropping - Ed.)

Hi,
just a quick note to say that I've deleted my two earlier entries
(in answer to Mark's observation -;).
It's surprising what a bad week at work can do to a fella's mood and
replies. So sorry Mark, I never thought you notes were "b______s"
I had a very bad day that day (all for a good {customer} reason).
Hope all's well. Keep noting.

Don't worry Tim,
You were remarkably restrained compared to some replies I've elicited!
:^)

| 871.15 | It's a long way to go... | JUMBLY::OCONNOR | | Wed Aug 07 1991 18:16 | 12 |
| Yup Mark. Such are the ups and downs of noting life. I hope nobody takes
me too seriously anyhow. This notes is just a handy punchbag (isn't it
bob, ray, mikef, anyone ??)
And why is everyone slagging Nanci Griffith ? I think she's great. I
was in Thurles on sat morn and most of Sunday afternoon/evening.
Nothing to write home (or here) about. It really looked like The
Stunning (on Sunday evening) were the crowd's favourites of the whole
weekend.

Actually, I heard that the Saw Doctors stole the show on Saturday. I'm
not sure about Sunday though...

Who's Nanci Griffith?

>> Who's Nanci Griffith?
A Texan gal. Good country-ish singer (makes a break from irish c&w
y'understand). "Storms" is worth a listen. Very square here in the
thames valley but who cares ?
In Thurles she affected her drawl to tell the crowd to "darn well stop
throwing yourselves up into the air - somebody could hurt themselves"
(at that stage the friendly Dublin bouncers intervened).
