  • "One of Morrissey's favourite singers?"

    WTF - Are you drunk or on drugs???

    Morrissey's favourite singers are people like Sandy Shaw, Mary Margaret O'Hara, The New York Dolls, The Sparks, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Patti Smith, Klaus Nomi and Diana Dors.

    I don't recall him ever mentioning some saatch & saatchi ponce & I've followed him religiously since The Smiths.

    BLOODY YANKS!

    *sigh*

    I scare dead people.
  • I'd literally never heard of him before, but apparently he did 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' in the sixties.

  • Well that extremely charming man to me just exuded kindness, charm, simplicity. I know there's a darker side to everyone but he seemed so likeable, I feel that's what he mostly was, you know.
    I heard some stupid journalist imply in his comments he was some kind of Sinatra of the poor...
    Well.
    What can I say ... LOL. We don't see the world with quite the same eyes!
    All I know is that noone in the Sinatra family ever made anyone in my family smile, or feel happy.
    Whereas Sacha could do that.
      And that's all I need to know.

    example of panic attack: "But then...But then...If my Karma depends on M-solo moderators... I'm fucked! FUCKED!!!"
  • Much more than in France where he was remembered for some 60's non-sense hit song. But more than this, he was one of the best jazz guitar player in the world, something that most people ignore : he played with the most famous jazzmen and even wrote classics for them.
