This blog was conceived after the Scottish Cup Final of 2004 when Celtic played Dunfermline. The idea was discussed in The Last Post pub in Paisley late at night as a means of allowing us to share news, opinions and post links of mutual interest. The date of the Final was 22 May.
Great song. Is there not another version where he stops midway through the song and starts playing another song [Layla?] in honour of someone's birthday [Eric Clapton?]. I think Lulu was presenting the show. Maybe it was Purple Haze. Sounds like I went to bed on some LSD ;0)
You've probably heard this song so often that it seems a relatively uncontroversial. However, imagine if some new band like the Killers released a new song with the lyrics -
"Hey Joe, where are you going with that gun in your hand?"
"I'm goin down to shoot my old lady, you know I caught her messin around with another man"
"So I gave her the gun, I shot her"
Marilyn Manson wouldn't get a look in, the Sun and the rest of the right wing press [i.e. 95%] would go into meltdown and New Labour would probably try to get some hate crime charge on them.

P.S. I imagine many of the lefties and feminists wouldn't be much better.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget Purple Haze. Got to:
