Martha Wainwright - Bloody Motherfucking Asshole (Glasto)

[Lifeaftardef]

This one time, a bitch trapped my dick in my zipper.

I feel the song expresses the fuck out of that shit.

It was bad time yo for real.

[54spiritedwill54]

she has such an amazing voice indeed

[driverzero1]

wow. you people have alot to get off your chest'. Maybe you should email each other

[g4ybar]

lol that's one of the best comments i've ever seen on youtube

[GANGARENE]

She is expressing anger..as artists do..whether it is lyrically on canvas...get a grip and stop being so pedantic...how many women though through anger and tears "I wish I was born a man" because obviously they are stating they would not be treated the way they have been as a woman...but in reality are actually glad NOT to be a man....

Stop being such a fucking buddhist...some people just want to express themselves...

Please refrain yourself to call me "honey". If you cannot see the difference between unintelligent and intelligent action or a piece of lyric and if you still claim that "bloddy motherf**ing asshole" is an intelligent way to express one's feelings then I have nothing to say to you.

[journeybear]

What is wrong with you? Watch your language!

[btyson1987]

What? Really bites, does it not?

[btyson1987]

So let me understand, she wrote a repetitive mindless song called bloody motherf***ing asshole for her dad? What does it tell you about the British society! She is nothing but a crackhole! So this is the role model people should pay for? Brits have tendency to awe anyone who has half brain, junkie, half wit and anything in between because they are so insecure..

[mynameiscal]

You're fun.

[MrEkul]

Where the fuck do you get any of that shit from?

[btyson1987]

"Getting" from the people like you who clearly do not have the intelligence to speak "pigeon" English to express himself without using F**& B**ing, never mind a proper English, and call themselves "Brits"!

[MrEkul]

I just think it's ridiculous that you would say these things about 'the British' just because Martha Wainwright played at an English music festival.

[btyson1987]

Because, this is the typical attitude of Brits! Loving sansationalism and supporting any idiot who offers that. You Brits are incapable of feeling entertained or socialised unless you drink to death, you cannot watch a simple football match unless you fight and get arrested, you can be "inspired" by any crackhead (Winehouse and Kate Moss are recent examples). Your sense of pride hardly exist and you can put up with any old rubbish that no other (at least european) nation would put up with!

[MrEkul]

That may be true of some people but I wish you would stop making these stereotypes.

[btyson1987]

It is not "Stereotype" because it reflects the behaviour of the majority. You Brits are the most perverted nation as shown on the tv last night where Brits' sexual fantacies were expressed.You Brits are becaming a disgrace of Europe as wherever you go you cause nothing but trouble. Spanish, Greek, Turkish Porteguese governments are fed up you Brits coming to their country and causing havoc with obnoxious and disorderly behaviour in the touristic places. You need to shake up!

[muzicluvvah]

That is exactly what a stereotype is. It's a negative stereotype and one that you alone seem to foster. How can you claim it's a majority?

[btyson1987]

I tell you what stereotype is! It is an "excuse" for people like you not to take any critism to analyse your behaviour and behave!

[ryansilvatapsyouout]

Violence at soccer matches occurs in Turkey, Spain, Eastern Europe, Russia, South America and Africa. In the UK, theres been very little violence at soccer matches since the 80s. All around the world Jerry Springer type sensationalist TV shows broadcast daily, and tabloid newspapers dominate broadsheets. These are worldwide trends, not British ones.

Our heroes are Churchill, Brunel, Darwin, Shakespeare, Newton, Pankhurst&Hawkins according to a public vote.

Only Brits have sexual fantasies?:)

[btyson1987]

Never to the extend that you Brits cause wherever you go. "Little violence since 80's"? You must be joking! Even in 2001 a Brit was stabbed to death by a Turk after a match who claimed that he repeatedly swore at him.

Yes, centuries or decades passed after your "heroes" long gone so since every other nation in the world has heroes of their own, you should not be relying on too much to your "heroes" to receive credibility as a nation.

You missed my point. I said "perverted" sexual fantasies!

[ryansilvatapsyouout]

Football violence in the countries I mentioned is huge. It has become a detritis, where as in Britain, incidents are few. Thats not my opinion, its a statistical fact. Your example is of TURKISH violence 8 YEARS AGO! :0)

You claimed Britain worshipped immoral idols, which was symbolic of our depravity. Our heroes, irrespective of their era, are actually innovators&characters of value. We actually gain credibility as a nation via our continued innovation in almost all aspects of human society.

[muzicluvvah]

She's not British and neither is her Father or her Mother. If you knew the history of her Father or Mother or of when they were married you might better understand her message even if you don't appreciate the language she used to express herself.

[btyson1987]

I did not say that she was British, I said you Brits are sensationalising her (as well as not reading other person's messages properly!)She is a Canadian-American folk-rock singer-songwriter, her father is a American folk/blues musician Loudon Wainwright III and her mother is Canadian folk singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle. She also has a brother Rufus Wainwright.

Whatever her family history is, it is not good enough reason to "express" herself unintelligently as she seems to be doing!

[muzicluvvah]

What exactly about her song is unintelligent? I find the words and her meaning to be brilliantly expressed and very moving! As far as it being repetitive, honey that's just the chorus. There are lots of words before she gets to the BMFA refrain. You really can't generalize the behavior of an entire country, well I guess you can, but I wouldn't think that's an intelligent thing to do.

[muzicluvvah]

Why is what Martha wrote a reflection of British society. You commented that she wrote a mindless song and I don't think you've ever heard anything other than the BMFA part.

[btyson1987]

On the contrary I was unfortunate enough to hear the entire lyrics with

"Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore...with the fucking phone, and the mother of gloom, in your bedroom

... I wish I was born a man, So I could learn how to stand up for myself"

Yeah? It is hardly inspirational, sprit lifting, motivating, is it not? What does it achieve exactly apart from outletting her own insecurity, doom and gloom,inferiority and anything in between!

All doom and gloom

[ryansilvatapsyouout]

Swear words actually have meanings and are used to express feelings that only they can express. If they are relevant to the idea the person is trying to get aross,they are not only justified but perfectly contextualised, as with this song about her distant abusive father.

Voicing her pain is a healthy thing, and other people like to hear her do it, as they can relate it to their own lives. It is cathartic for both her and others and the only person it seems to bother is you. You seem insecure.

[btyson1987]

So you feel "secure" hearing a song saying: "I wish I was born a man, so I could learn to stand up for myself" and calling me "insecure"? You are in denial! Swearing your head off is not the sign of being secure and content with yourself. It is just an unhealthy way to outlet your anger because it does nothing but to contribute to the anger, aggression and sadness. The most difficult thing to do is to control and bring yourself to be above the anger and sadness and walk away anytime you want.

[ryansilvatapsyouout]

You ARE insecure. You feel the need to trawl youtube, unsuccesfully trying to criticise succesful people. An old British saying: "Those that can, do, and those that can't, criticise."

Swearing is inherently an outburst of emotion. Release of emotion IS healthy, its in any basic psyhcology handbook. ALL psychologists agree that refusing to release anger merely represses it, and is deeply harmful to your emotional state. EVERYTHING you conclude is so far from proven reality, its hilarious.

[thefuckheadsgalore]

I find it very inspirational, motivating and spirit lifting, because I relate to these lyrics. Besides making me feel slightly less abnormal because I am not the only one who feels this way, it's very rousing. Sometimes a good 'fuck you' really lifts a lot off your shoulders and allows you to move on.

[emochris123]

she has such an amazing voice :)

[keithslum]

Martha is one of my favourite singers of all time. This song is absolutely awesome!!!!!

Apparently this was written about her dad Loudon? Not sure

[riahleofUK]

yup she said it was when i saw her supporting her brother.

[riahleofUK]

that it was about her dad - sorry didn't make it clear x

[hieronymusxbosch]

Damn, she's cute

[HottBeeotch]

My Grandpa is planning on taking me to Glastonbury next year-and we live in Canada!

[Polar1One]

Great set, one of my highlights too. Like the new Park Stage.

Have some brilliant photos taken at the beginning of this one!

Thanks for posting.

[Dingledoodie]

I was there! She was one of my highlights of Glasto 2007. Thanks for posting this! x

[ummmyawanna123]

i just listened to it really load and she says 'rufus is going to kill me' haha

[Mukkumukku]

I d like to give her a kiss

[MuseBellamy07]

She always sings with such beauty, her voice is amazing.

[BYNYBOO]

no - she said 'Rufus is going to kill me' - he having had a history of drug abuse I would imagine it's true.

[katgem]

ah, that's interesting, I couldn't really hear her so presumed she was talking about the joint.

[katgem]

someone threw a joint up onto the stage, and the weed will 'kill her' - both times I've seen her someone's done that, dunno if she gives out subliminal messages in the performance!

[bettyiso]

that would be me :)

Rolled it and threw it a song before but it never made it to the stage ...

[bettyiso]

This was meant for the post bellow... sorry

[inevitabilityHAA]

love martha! but what does she say right at the beginning? what's gonna kill her?

[katgem]

it was indeed.

[bobbymcgraw]

wonderful!

[Zootallure]

A voice replete with torture and feeling. Beautiful.
