"My view is that neither England or America are democratic societies. You can't really speak your mind and if you do you're investigated."

Feel safer? I know I do!

Joe McCarthy? Your table is ready...

1. I own all the Smiths albums.

I guess I'm next. What a fucked up world. :eyes:

[BlueEyedSon]

2. Depends how often you listen to them.... yes, they know that too!

[flamingyouth]

7. Guess I should hide my Dead Kennedys and D.O.A. albums then

What is this, Fahrenheit 451?

[no name no slogan]

16. They've been on my ass since I played Jello's "Die For Oil, Sucker"

on my kollidge radio show in 1990. Ah well, at least it makes it easier to claim CO status when I get drafted.

6. I saw them live in the 80's. I better go underground.

:scared:

[flamingyouth]

10. We'll start a network to disguise them as Lee Greewood CDs

;)

[ncrainbowgrrl]

8. to paraphrase a great song:

I guess we'll find out for ourselves. :eyes:

[mtnester]

3. Sheesh, there was a thread last week about Henry Rollins getting

the third degree because of what he was reading on a plane.

This will soon get quickly out of hand.

4. Morrissey?

Hey, I like him! The Smiths were fantastic! The FBI was bothering him? Don't they have better things to do, like go after *real* terrorists?:mad:

Tammy

17. haven't you heard? Morrissey is a terra-ist

Jeez, just listen to his frickin lyrics. Al-Queda this, Saddam that, Osama the other thing. I'm just suprised they didn't nail him sooner.

Quite frankly I'm sick of his America-hating ways and his pro-terra music. We should deport this whimpering limey bastard, ASAP.

"Every Day Is Like Sunday" my ass.

[slor]

5. Did they think he was trying to get...

the "Shoplifters of the World" to unite and take over? Friggin' idiots.

[Avalux]

9. O geez. Have they nothing better to do?

He's always been outspoken like that - "The Queen is Dead" created a lot of controversy in its day. What a dangerous man. :eyes:

[Wickerman]

11. Didn't he advocate unionization of shoplifters?

Anarchy, I tell ya.

If we are so worried about genetleman such as Morrisey then we shoudl certainly worry about UAE ownership of ports.

[JeffR]

12. Morrissey's remark is dead on

But he's no Cat Stevens...
:)

[Patsy Stone]

28. Look out!

You're being followed by a Moonshadow. :)

[Tin Man]

13. How soon will we lose ALL our civil liberties? "How soon is now?"

"How soon is now" by The Smiths - the signature riff of that song is one of the most inovative, avant-garde musical phrase I've ever heard... really awesome for 1984.

[htuttle]

14. Well, now I'm depressed

Just seeing the name "Morrissey" fills me with angst and sadness...

[Patsy Stone]

19. :)

Did I tell you that I cried and then I died?

[kenny blankenship]

15. reminds one of the famous memo from J. Edgar Hoover

"find out who Sartre is."

worlds not colliding, but missing each other by whole universes.

[Fuzz]

18. Frankly Mr. Shankly

this is bizzare.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Now he knows how Joan of Arc felt...

Thanks to a co-worker for that joke, btw.

[Roland99]

21. "I'll be at the bar...with my head on the bar"

he he he


That's funny.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Scary

:scared:

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. There's panic on the streets of Austin

Panic on the streets of Birmingham...

:rofl:

[lectrobyte]

24. I handed over all my freedom, so I could feel all warm and safe and secure

But I could tell something's wrong here...
I'm afraid of what I'm sure is coming next

[spuddonna]

25. How could they do that to this charming man?

wow... bizarre...

[Ignis]

26. Uh-oh, I'd best go flush my iPod... (NT)

[OneBlueSky]

27. "Imagine" what they'd be doing to Lennon today . . .

he'd probably be entertaining the inmates at Guantanamo -- from the inside . . .

we miss his voice . . .
