Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Cheers mate.

Not a problem mate.

I’m an 80s child, me and Messy were close in age if not the same. I support Everton because little me liked the jerseys in the 84 final apparently. Story goes I cheered for them and that’s that, the first Toffee in the family.

All great bands named there, B’witched being the stand out.

C'est la vie mate.

I've just seen on various news outlets that human remains have been found on Saddleworth Moor. Some reporting it is the skull of an 11 -12 yrold child. I so hope it is the last victim of the Moors Murderers who I think about every time I drive across the M62. He can finally be laid to rest.

Welcome back Pete. How is your wife ?

Waiting for a brain scan, she’s fine in herself though…..

How's the missus Pete?

No change….

I can’t stand U2 and their example does fit in with take on evolution in music. They chased the dollar and moulded their fake image to suit what they wanted to be seen as rather than than see where their music took them.

Radiohead/Manic Street Preachers/REM are good examples of where their music changed as their life influences changed as they grew older.

U2 are as fake as any manufactured boy band.

U2 is my favorite band, but only their stuff up to about Joshua Tree. In my opinion, that album is one of the best ever along with Metallica's Black album. I really can't listen to any of U2's newer stuff for the reasons you have stated.

I absolutely agree about the money chasing part and letting the fame get to them.

Nope at all. Middle class boys pretending to be something they really aren’t. Very happy to play being Irish when it brought in money but equally happy to literally burn the flag to court controversy.

The Divine Comedy would be my favourite Irish band, love the Pogues as well if that counts.

Never really got into Sting or the Police for that matter although could do a greatest hits alright ?

Since you have the inside scoop on the Irish groups, what is your opinion of Clannad? I've been a fan of them for years.

*closes eyes -- so afraid you are going to tell me some bad things about them lol

They sang the theme song to one of my favourite tv shows of the eighties Robin of Sherwood.
