Thread: A Child Ill - Intro

    Default A Child Ill - Intro

    'A Child Ill' by Sir John Betjeman was used as the intro for the gig in CA last night, apparently. It was last used in 2002.

    I for one am delighted as it's my favourite Morrissey-gig intro . Does anyone know if the 'Bells' followed the poem?

    i don't know, captain tractor, but i can't wait to find out.
    "The idea of a counterculture is ultimately based on a mistake. At best, countercultural rebellion is pseudo-rebellion: a set of dramatic gestures that are devoid of any progressive political or economic consequences and that detract from the urgent task of building a more just society. In other words, it is rebellion that provides entertainment for the rebels, and nothing much else."

    I'm glad you're the same, HIM.

    The next cheeky question, of course, is: I wonder if anyone has a decent recording of any these shows....

    Ho hum, we shall see.

    I believe so since it's about the death of his father (if I'm not mistaken).
    What would Birgit Friggebo do?

    No Bells. Was rather disconcerting to see Moz on the stage before Betjeman's voice faded out.
