@omfgwtfbbqmsn He didn't steal the money exactly, he paid for things like merchandising and stage crew expenses out of the band's own account, when you're supposed to expense them to the label/promoter and let them sort it out (or were at the time). Basically the band were very naive, and didn't realise that the manager they picked was almost as green as they were...

@turricaned well said. Their manager had stolen their money. In order to raise some cash, blur went lots of pointless tour in US...and in the US , they all hear the radio to remind them about their country - UK

I think with hindsight we can say that Blur beat Oasis by quite some margin.

God, the way the solo cut is.. greatness

@musicalsimsy cjmooney's right, it is a tear. Given just how massive they became the year this video was shot (1994), it's not very well known that less than 2 years previously they came very close to having to pack it all in because their ex-manager seriously mismanaged their finances - the band was effectively bankrupt and the music papers considered them yesterday's news, with Suede on the rise. Blur came back from the dead twice, and both times at Glasto Damon was moved to tears.

@petercouz Blur were streets ahead of Oasis. I could never understand the comparisons and all the bullshit that played them off against each other. It's like comparing the Smiths with the fucking Verve.

The ultimate Britpop anthem.
This is a low, refers to his depression - and uses the shipping forecast he was listening to on the radioat the time, to show his feelings.
It is a tear by the way. A very famous tear
