The same Peter Hook who couldn't hold his tongue on soccer am as he swore twice on what is a kids Saturday morning light-hearted show for the those of you who are unaware of it. He made a complete idiot of himself and was just embarrassing.

Peter Hook - he who had a very public bout of fisticuffs with the then current squeeze of Caroline Ahern, comedienne and ex of Mr Hook.

Hooky, I love your music, but what's with your big mouth?

        New Order hasn't released a great album since 1993's "Republic". You've only had a small handful of decent tracks since then as well. In a nutshell, Morrissey has run circles around you guys creatively, so STFU.

        That being said the mom comment made me laugh. When has Peter Hook ever had legal trouble with Morrissey. You know he is re-telling a story that he heard from Andy Rourke and that leather face simply cannot be trusted
        Still, I would love to meet Morrissey's mother..maybe I'll sue him for something

          In reference to his mother, Gail Colson, Morrissey's former manager, backed up this sentiment in an old "Uncut" interview.

          http://motorcycleaupairboy.com/interviews/1998/uncut.htm

          "Why did I stop managing him? He sacked me! He sacked me, his accountant and his lawyer on the same day. No idea why. It was bizarre, but then again nothing's bizarre with Morrissey. That's why I'm being a bit guarded. It's so sad. He's his own worst enemy. He's cut everybody out and is back where he was before fame, only stuck in a hotel room, not a bedroom.

          "And he's still got his Mum running everything. Ooh, there's lots more I could tell you!"

          And Gary Day had this to say:

          "It was the lack of communication," says Gary Day. "If you're going to be told something, you like to be told by that person - and it was never done that way. If someone you know asks you to do something, you might not think it's outrageous or terrible, but if it comes from someone else it might upset you.

          "A lot of things change when you're in that camp; like, you can be expecting to go on tour, and then the day before you hear that you're not going on tour. You can be in the middle of a tour, then suddenly you're going home. But it's his show, and he runs it. I admire that; if he upset me a couple of times, that's just my personal feelings."

                  Lyrically, New Order was probably the worst, most embarrassing band that ever existed and were somehow popular. For this douche to look at the Smiths as his "competition" is like Kid Rock complaining about David Bowie as a rival - and that every other band was a "rival." Talk about an unfounded ego... what an ugly slob.

                      Well, ex-pop stars need an income of course. Hooky is really milking the Hacienda big time. Yes Hacienda was a great club in its time but it was only a night club for god's sake!

                      I nearly bought his latest book ("How Not to Run a Night Club") and the acid house CD compilation to go with it but then thought naah - why bother? Luckily I got some sense before dishing out another twenty+ quid for nostalgia.

                      Move on Hooky!
