[Constitution Day]

He's 45. Isn't that a little old to be carrying the alterna-torch?

Tell me about it!
Seen Michael Stipe lately, though?

I often listen to an alternative station over the 'net.
The other day I got to hear this weepy crap by him... his latest "hit", I guess.
I googled & found this barfy bit of the lyrics:

I've been dreaming of a time when
to be English is not to be baneful
to be standing by the flag, not feeling shameful
racist or racial

Sigh.

[54-46 Was My Number]

"Irish Heart, English Blood," or whatever the title, is by any measure a really goofy, bad song. Obviously Johnny Marr had all the talent in the Smiths . . .

[clintonh8r]

Must be the first time in the history of music that "baneful" and "shameful" have been rhymed.

[Lee'sGhost]

This talk about being over 45 is making me feel uncomfortable. Think I'll go listen to Liz Phair's song about old underwear.

Morrissey is timeless. Regardless of any politial statements. EOT.
