Who is the poet in the beginning of the video? The one that says "The bloody babies bloody cry, the bloody flowers bloody die." I find this segment interesting, just dont know where it came from, any info would be greatly appreciated.

It is John Cooper Clarke, reciting his poem "Evidently Chickentown" (though toning the expletives down somewhat!)

Extreme sized avatar alert!! 
Oh and by the way welcome!
Is that large avatar thing, The New kids On the Block ? Or just their malign influence ? Or you and a ' friend ' ? Queens is a place, right ?
lol im not sure if you're joking or not, but queens is one of the 5 buroughs of NYC, it is one of the largest areas that make up NYC. and i apologize for the large avatar, i didnt realize it would be so large i will upload a diff pic or something, and yea it is me and a friend, me the one with the crazy eyes on the right. and i HATE new kids on the block, that could not be more anti-me.
