ok, just defending manchester a little here...... Fred >According to the movie "24 Hour Party People" Tony Wilson invented Acid >House
I think I might have missed that bit - either that or maybe you could point the bit out you mean? I didn't get that impression.First off, there's a disclaimer throughout the film - alot of it is seen through rose tinted specs. so, I think thats them saying 'we jazzed this story up a little'. They make that pretty obvious I thought. >and the Happy Mondays were the greatest band in the world with the >greatest poet in England. Give me a break. I think there's a touch of irony there. You know, kind of like Oasis saying "we're the best band since the beatles"? However, the poet thing. I think he has a bit (small bit) of a point. The culture divide between the US and UK is enormous - even between the north/south divide in the UK the culture difference is pretty massive. Maybe it's something to do with living here. I can appreciate you cannot relate to it, but you know, I can't relate to a load of s**t coming from over there, but it doesn't make it any less valid in my opinion. You're knocking something that you can't relate to because you're not from here. Is that right? >The time I saw them they were >the stiffest most drugged out band of losers I had ever heard. Absolutely >no groove. Teabags !!! well, OK! thats a fair enough comment. Can't argue with the stiffness bit - but it was always their take on it. Its personal opinions though. For a start, you wanna see where they come from Fred - it ain't pretty mate. You could argue they acheived alot you know, coming from round there. They could have got into far worse things, and I mean far worse. you wanna see what a loser looks like from round there. and anyway, didn't a little of that euro 'stiffness' creep into a certain genre that we're all into here? I'm no Happy Mondays fan or anything (although I have some records), but well, I dunno, I'm just in the mood for a rant I guess. sorry, didnt mean to have a pop at you fred, just felt I had to take issue there, as I felt the 24 hr party people film made it very clear that it was a 'story'. alex _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
