CRASS news for Glenn probably... -231984 OK?

[chriswasanon]

This just in from Bangkok Steve ex New York Scumhaters and the Disrupters...

Note all comments that say "hippies" or not as good as Foreigner will BE IGNORED.

Shepherds Bush Empire London. Nov 24-25 2007.

Steve Ignorant from Crass will be performing with "guests" The Feeding Of The 5000 album in its entirety plus various other Crass classics. Different support bands over the course of both nights include Conflict, Flux Of Pink Indians, Zounds and The Restarts....2 more bands to be announced.

Gotta be done really I think, I got a couple of weekend tickets today from Ticket Web. They also sell single night tickets. Be quick though, this will sell out well quick.

Well...that got ol' ignorant shloe's curiosity up....
did some wiki wandering...with crass.....
"and the kids were just crass"....I'll have to
"aquire" some audio samples for a listen

...jolly good then.

[Glenn]

That is a pretty amazing thing. I hope that it is successful and they can do the same out here is the USA. They would make a fortune.

I dont think that I am going to the Conflict gig this weekend mostly becase I thiink I know who the promoter is, due to the fact the keyclub is sandwiched between 2 Carona Showcase shows. They wont get a dime of old Glenn.

Word to Conflict - DO YOUR OWN HEADCOUNT!!!

Thing is Glenners Steve and co were never in it for the money anyway. I hope Penny will be there and Eve too. Not just Steve Intelligent. All the money Crass ever made went into new bands.

Seems unlikely that I will go however, that's bs who has acquired 2 tickets. I'd love to though -

I still know lots of lyrics. Seeing as Shloe can post his lyrics, I'm gonna post some Eagles lyin' eyes lyrics.

City girl just seemed to find out early
how to open doors with just a smile...

Change it....scrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr@@@@@@@@@@tttttccccchhhhhhh

Banned from the roxy OK
never much liked playing there anyway.
Said they only wanted well behaved boys.
Do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys?
Fuck 'em, I've chosen to make my stand.
Against what I feel is wrong with this land.
Just sit there on their over fed arses.
Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes.
Keep their fuckin' power, cos their fingers on the button.
Got control won't let it be forgotten.
Proof of their reality, is the wrong end of the gun
Proof of that is Belfast and that's no fuckin' fun.

Seein' the squaddie lying in the front yard
seein' the machine gun restin' on the fence.
Findin' the entrance to your own front door is barred
and they've got the fuckin' nerve to call it defence.
Seems their defence is just the threat of strength
protection for the privileged at any length.
The Government protectin' their profits from the poor
the rich and the fortunate chainin' up the door
afraid that the people might ask for a little more.
Than the shit they get...etc

Defence shit it's nothing less than war,
and no one but the Government knows what the fuck its for.
Oh yes they say it's defence, say it's decency
Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean.
The same fuckin' lies with depressin' frequency
say we have to do it, to keep our lives clean.

Well whose life, whose fuckin' life?
Who the fuck are they talkin' to?
Whose life, whose fuckin' life?
I'll tell you one thing it ain't me and you.
And the systems.
Christ, they're everywhere!
School, Army, Church, the Corporation deal.
A fucked up reality based on fear.
A fuckin' conspiracy to stop you feeling real.
Well I can say, I say their fuckin' wrong
ain't quite ready with my gun
but I've got my song.
Banned from the Roxy OK

Singers as Mr. Jones says are always, "difficult."

Cheerio.
