Someone once wrote a review of Neil Young, where they said they had always been a great fan until they heard that song - is it >Helpless"?

Dears, Trous wrote: that's the chorus anyway - and the line "Big bird flying

across the sky..". They immediately had a mental image of the large yellow resident of Sesame Street gliding across a beautiful sunset, >and found it impossible to take poor old Neil seriously again.

To add insult to injury I cant listen to The Stooges anymore, >either. I

It was Keith, wasn't it? Keith has a thing about Big Bird. As opposed to big birds, I wouldn't like to comment on that. Earlier this year, Keef, Anne, Wumpkinny and myself were "power lunching" in a cafe in Glasgow and Keith was heard to remark "doesn't this spoon look uncannily like Big Bird's head?" No-one expected him to say that, any more than we expected him to say "and as any engineer knows, ratchets are the devil's work". He's a strange boy and I feel he needs our help in his hour of need. put on "Raw Power" the other night, only to find myself >haunted by the leering face of Jim Henson's most fearsome creation, >Robert "son of a manic street preachers' fan", McTaggart. What can >you do? You can hush your filthy mouth for a start, Mr So-called Trousers. I wasn't the one shagging to the Stooges, I was the one striking a blow for morality and saying it was sick. And it is. Thank God it wasn't "I wanna be your dog" Trousers chose to listen to, that's all I can say. Michael said:

Those that have been found to deteriorate have been traced back to pressing plants with dodgy operational practices. Such as employing >too many people with ginger hair.

And what is that supposed to mean, Sonny Jim? You can never have too many people with ginger hair. For this wanton bigotry, I blame Chris Evans and I blame Mick Hucknall but most of all, I blame Coronation Street's Liz MacDonald. She's a disgrace to the Sparkly Orange tribe the world over. God, I hate her. I hate her "But Jim!"s and "Shurt urp burth of you"s, but most of all I hate her workout video. Bianca, now she's a soap ginner that rocks. Why doesn't she do a workout video? I'd buy one. Gingerly yours, Taggart xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
