Hey, curious to see the Jordan Peterson video. I searched but couldn't find it

The only one who's been released is The Kid's A Looker, on the 2013 reissue of The Last of The Famous International Playboys. The song was first played on Janice Long radio show in 2011 together with Action/People. There was also a Studio in Session episode with these songs and also Scandinavia...

Here's more about this:

We know he curated the line-up for his day at Hop Farm Festival in 2011 (with Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Iggy & The Stooges, Damien Dempsey, Magazine)

It's below mediocre, I find. Recent B-sides like "Never Again Will I Be a Twin" and "Brow of My Beloved" has been a lot better, not to mention the YouTube only "By the time..." and "Blue Dreamers Eyes".

Now, with the Uyghur concentration camps and organ harvesting, the treatment of Hong Kong, and other things that are coming to the light, will Morrissey be forgiven for his early warnings about the Chinese in 2008? Now, with social media and wider internet usage, we also know that the word...

I don't think he's confused/ill-informed. Maybe you are? He has good reasons to be supporting and opposing all these things as you mention, I don't see the confusion?

Is it to fight injustice and poverty? Is it to march in protest against nuclear weapons? Is it to demonstrate against the war in Syria? Is it to give help to those starving in South Sudan? What is it that upsets them? Is it politicians who do not take the climate crisis seriously? Is it the...

There's so much destruction all over the world And all you can do is complain about me You bang your head against the wall And say you're sick of it all Yet, you remain, 'cause all you need is me
