HEROES and VILLAINS...

SO what is your list of characters or famous people who've inspired and repulsed you in equal measures?

Those who have repulsed: (list incomplete)

I only got back from fucking work two hours ago!! That was the kind of bastard day I had!! 15 hours hard graft for some fucking great dictator of a publicity agency boss. Bollocks eh? So this is the only chance I get to post in before I go to bed before the likes of Huntsman, Shug, Patrick, Derek and Manynicknamedperson sieze the opportunity to bombard the site yet again with two hundred more postings each about Kylie, football and other vacuous nonsense about nothing in particular like they always seem to do every day around lunchtime!!!!!

villians - Billy Corgan and the rest of the world who likes Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Soundgarden and the rest of the fucking copycat bands clogging airwaves. (i will make exceptions for those of you who listed the double disc Greatest Hits as one of your top albums of 2001--buster, However, get with the fucking program and realize that you are listening to a load of shit. do not jeopardize your credibility by listening to horrible music) GWBUSH, People who push for more military spending, Sharon and Arafat (fucking childish asshole leaders---why fight over religion? what does your religion preach if you shamelessly kill people?) Paul Oakenfold for not being able to beat match records even though he is considered one of the top dj's. tops for selecting records you heard other people play? tops for being so predictable, i named half your set at Area:one before we stepped foot inside the tent you boring wanker. People who come into a restaraunt after shopping for christmas presents, order loads of food and wine and then decide you've spent too much so you take it out of the tip for your server. FUCKERS. Mick Jagger, the republican party (shape up jeff!)

Remind me to never piss you off....

Agree with GW, Jagger, SP (for the most part), but I forgot to add Harry Potter, Rob Reiner flicks after spinal Tap (they all suck after that masterpiece) and Bono to my dislikes pile

Pros(in rough chronological order): Johnny Cash, John Fogerty, "Night of the Hunter(original)", Steve Prefontaine, Tom McCall, Ronnie Lee, Monty Python, SNL, The Ramones, Kraftwerk,Blixa Bargeld, Cabaret Voltaire, "Rules of the Game", Nick Cave, David McComb and the Triffids, Matt Groening, King Tubby, Mark Stewart, Adrian Sherwood, "Northern Exposure", David Lynch, Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Steve Kilbey, R.E.M., "Seinfeld", Massive Attack, MST3K, John Irving(except for his last book), Roddy Frame, and as always, JD/NO. That's all right off of the top of my head,but that about covers it.

Cons: most politicians, dial-up modems, AOL, irresponsible interpretations of religious text( Moral Majority, Osama, etc,), the attitudes of most professional sports players, Paul Weller(post-82), The Eagles, Christina Aguilera, all "boy" bands, TRL, most American TV (I was channel surfing last night, and they showed, I swear to God, on American Movie Classics, the Village People's movie "Can't Stop The Music". Oh well, it could have been worse, they could have shown that "Sgt. Pepper" movie with the Bee Gees).

So what's the reason? Too much time hanging out with the wrong crowd? Maybe Manchester's really getting to you.

don't fancy either heros or villans

Hates:the cunt in the recordshop i just visited. They had 4 stereolab cd's in store of wich two i wanted to buy with the 40 guilder giftcertificate that i have, but because the slip wasnt attached, he would not accept it(i had the slip with it) What a complete and utter idiot). Well i told him to stick his bloody cd's up his tight ass!!

Which record shop was that Mario? I ask because I'll then know to avoid it if I ever happen to be passing by that part of town next time I'm in Holland (which can't come soon enough, believe me!)

a shop called "de Nootzaak", very well utilised on the indie and other non top40 genres, but they've got a crap attitude. I ordered my copy of 60mph with them, they would call me when it was there . two and a half weeks later, no calls yet , i check the cd's under "N ' and what do i find: yes, my copy of 60 mph. Well fuck them, hope they choke on a turkey bone this xmas!!Bastards:head off:

Villains: Bin Laden and his cronies, boy bands, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Scarey, MTV, bad weather, temperamental computers, Steps, S Club 7, nu-metal bands, child pop stars (e.g. Kaci)...again, the list goes on!

Besides the obvious...

Heros: People who are and try to be DIFFERENT!

Villians: TRENDY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ok, thanks! :)

Never noticed this thread before - better think of some things to stick in it then!! Unfortunately, me drink-addled mind cannot at presnet come up with any true nuggets as yet, so a couple of starters will have to do for now, until I come back with a better list.

Heroes - David Bowie (of course - though only up to 1978 - see below!) Norman Greenbaum, Ian Curtis, John Lydon, Joe Strummer, Tony Benn, The Iggster

Villains- David Bowie (for everything he's done after 1978), Boy george (for everything he's ever done) , Useless Boy/Girl bands and other Manufactured pop puppets, Middlesborough locals (their appalling musical tastes espescially)

That's all for now - be back when I've got a better list.

Heroes:

The Pope, Allied fighting men and women of World War Two, my parents, Bill O'Reiley and Fox News, Drew Pearson (the real #88...Jeff knows who I'm talking about), Black Conservatives, John McCain (SIX YEARS in the Hanoi Hilton), Martin Luther King, the Anglo-American Ford team that destroyed Ferrari with the GT 40 from 1966-69, Collin McRae, Peggy Noonan, Tom Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, the fire fighters,police and EMS of NYC, Sadat-Carter-Begin (s/p?) who for a brief time made the world think that there could be peace in the Middle East, Iron Chef Morimoto, Crowded House, and yes, our boys (and girl) from Manchester.

Villains:

Babs MegaStriesand, Hillary Clinton, Uncle Ho Chi Minh Uncle Joe Stalin, Hitler, Coco Channel, Nation of Islam (NOT Islam itself, but the perversion that is the NoI), Alec Baldwin, Robert Altman, Madonna, Martin Sheen, PETA, (Hanoi) Jane Fonda, MTV, cowardly terrrorists, historical revisionist, thought police, "manufactured" pop,

What's wrong with Robert Altman? MASH (the movie) is quite possibly the funniest depiction of the American military, and the Player is pretty good, if a bit long.

Whats wrong with Coco ??

Come on everybody - how about backing our bid to dispose of the Monarchy ? That useless greying leech is celebrating her Golden Jubilee on the throne this summer, the Sex Pistols will probably reform to do a two-step garage version of "God Save The Queen", Jamie bastard Oliver will probably endorse the whole thing with his hideuos blue-Peter style pasta-concoctions....and there should be rioting in the streets up and down the la-a-a-and!!!

Hey Niel,

Let's just say that Coco wasn't the most patriotic soul during WWII and had to leave her own country for a decade afterwards. I really don't want to get into more than that. It's all public record. You can find the details if you like. And remember, I'm the kinder, gentler Michael.

Pistols reunite? That would never happen....

Yeah, to hell with the monarchy, bunch of tax-evading inbreed bastards

Damn, sorry about that folks.

T7,

My disdain for Mr. Altman comes not from his directing ability but from his view that "if GWB wins the election, I'm leaving the country". Anyway, he popped off again. You can go to Drudge for the link. If it's already gone, go to PageSix.com.

Well Mr Taboo - WHERE WERE YOU IN 1996?? The superannuated old sods did JUST THAT!! And packed out Finsbury Park into the bargain - me? I wuz there!! But they were SHITE! Utter Pantomime Horse!! Pah!! Still never got me money back after all this time!

Michael, please explain why that old retarded man they call the pope is your hero???:D

I had the live concert disc of that...for about two days. I returned it and got Sgt. Pepper instead. The Pistols sounded alright, it just seemed like they'd become the new Metallica wannabes.

In that case, it would have been even better if the bastards had the mullets to match!! arf arf arf!!!!

yeah, but she makes nice dresses :D

ps

you seem to be missing Ollie North & Nixon

Supermario,

First of all, Pope John Paul II is not retarded. I would doubt that any of us would want to compare c.v.'s with him. I think you can do better than that for a slam. Come on now, I know you've got a few more Kw in that dome of yours! :)

Anyway, a reason why the Pope is one of my heroes is because he has the inner strength, peace and faith to forgive a man who fired a burning hot slug into his midsection. How many of us could say that?

Niel,

North & Nixon.......

From my personal perspective, they're sympatheitc villains. My list contains people I just can't stand and who I feel have no redeeming value.

Good call.

Supermario,

This is off the current "off topic" thread: I have a 12" single called "Looking From A Hilltop" by Section 25. Is this the same Section 25 you reference in your bio?

The Pope's not retarded, he's just incredibly old and near death. Poor bastard, and he never even had a woman....God, hope I get some action before I'm that old.

Speaking of old, Strom Thurmond (our esteemed senator from SC and 4th or 5th in line to the Presidency)is so old he can remember Abe Lincoln. Strom's so old he dictated the Ten Commandments to Moses. How old is he? Strom's so old that he blew the whistle on Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Ehhmmm, interesting point of view. Indeed , it is a very noble thing to turn the other cheek. In that perspective he might be considered a hero. For me the pope represents the catholic church and all that comes with it. My main point of seeing him, or rather cath.church, as a villain has got to do with not allowing/promoting the use of birthcontrol-items, which imo causes lots of shit in poor catholic countries. I'll quikly post, cause from 23.00 hrs the server at my job will disconnect. Speak again tomorrow...now i'm off

Originally posted by Michael McDermott Damn, sorry about that folks.T7,My disdain for Mr. Altman comes not from his directing ability but from his view that "if GWB wins the election, I'm leaving the country". Anyway, he popped off again. You can go to Drudge for the link. If it's already gone, go to PageSix.com.

Didn't know Altman said that as well. I only heard about the Baldwin who was married to Kim Basinger saying that.

And packed out Finsbury Park into the bargain - me? I wuz there!! But they were SHITE! Utter Pantomime Horse!! Pah!!> Still never got me money back after all this time!

I had the live concert disc of that...for about two days. I returned it and got Sgt. Pepper instead. The Pistols sounded alright, it just seemed like they'd become the new Metallica wannabes.

The Sex Pistols reforming was frankly the most embarrassing public spectacle I have ever seen. Talk about pissing on your own legacy in the name of shameless gullibility.... Stupid c***s.

have to correct myself on Section 25, Michael! I've got the album with that song on it! Brilliant album though. What other song(s) are on the 12"??

This old thread has resurfaced again???!! Well, better add to my Villains list the stuck up toffee-nose git who blocked us from loading the lighting gear via the main reception of Mytholmroyd civic hall the other night then- simply because he didn't want his precious carpet getting wet from the dripping poles. Kept us waiting out in the pissing rain for quarter of a hour before he could be bothered opening the back fire exit doors. What an absolute bastard! The show was shite anyway - hope they made a loss on takings - like I care.

Has anybody here mentioned their useless record company yet then?

Ooops...sorry.....it appears I just have... DOH!
