[frankdis]

Coke damage!!

Ian McCulloch should be praised for how well he took being interviewed by Michael Jackson's corpse.

[TheHarecat]

LOL! The interviewer hasn't got a fucking clue what Mac's going on about! Do they have designer media-mould in Hoxton? maybe they put it as Penicillin on top of their skinny mochachino's?

[ElectricLabel]

Its the coke that's done him in. Its no secret, everyone in the biz knows what he's been doing the last few years. This makes me feel very very sad.

[emilybronte2005]

... me too

[kinksbeatlesstones]

He is the god of cool! A shave and a bit of black hair dye and it would seem like yesterday all over again!!!

[sirtinycreep]

Lord, he's aged! Looks like an old tramp. Whatever happened to his boyish looks???

And that voice...what's he been eating? Gravel! Hard to believe it's him. He's aged about 25 years in two.

[crypttonite]

his voice is not the same as it was,he sounds unwell

[shooterwall]

the fuck tramp

[gsh73la]

@shooterwall English, please ?

[ABTE67]

so much drugs

[walleyrange]

Thats not drugs, thats how proper scousers talk

[factorniner]

Totally funny...the accent. I'm American. I only picked up 3 nouns about his childhood. It was enough to figure out the song's derivation. I think the band is just as good now without the angst. I, myself, don't have that, but I did appreciate it when I did at 18

[factorniner]

I picked up mold ...fell down...rescue. That was enough.

[iwantian]

what did anything he said have to do with the song? Am I missing something?

[DaGeBu]

It can be difficult if English isn't your first language. IM is describing the bad conditions that thousands of families endured in the 1970's due to poorly designed "social" housing". The dwellings were built by and owned by local governments and rented to lower income families who didn't really have a choice as to where they lived. These buildings were cheap to build and poorly designed and were prone to damp and the houses themselves and the people who lived in them suffered as a result.

[iwantian]

uhhhhhh.....English is my first language....but thanks for the information on public housing in the UK.

[comfy1]

American is your first language because English is something Americans are too slack to make the effort with.

[tallentgirl]

What?
