Thread Name: BS: Gary Glitter
Subject: RE: BS: Gary Glitter
Yes I do believe that serial killers and most crimes of this nature are committed by people hardly in control of themselves. Dennis Nilsen said that was really what was wrong with the idea of Hanniball Lecter was the picture of him as a controlled being - in actual fact the loss of self control is the one factor very commonly testified to. If one person said it, it would be an excuse. As loads of people have remarked on it - it is an established fact. Its time we sorted these problems out - why we are producing so many of these freaks.

Another thing; Gary Glitter, Alvin Stardust, Suzy Quatro, Slade...when all these gits were dominating the charts that's when English music fell into the malaise. At the time it was possible to hear great versions of The Writing of Tiperary, The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, I could not Take My Eyes of Her, the Roger Brooks songbook - any night in a folk club. And these songs were not even getting record deals, on the radio, nothing.... whereas a few years previously good stuff from the folk clubs like Streets of London was getting to graduate to a wider audience.

Since then England has continued to carpet bomb total shite into the charts in our small island. the the record co. exec.s get surprised when the product is taken to the states and in the larger market - the abject inferiority of our domestic writing becomes immediately manifestly obvious. Oasis and Robbie being the two latest examples.

having said that GG wasn't a serial killer. I bear him no ill will. I hope he sorts his life out.

And I don't want to live in a country where we cut bits of people off. despite the fact that our leaders are willing to sacrifice the lives of other peoples children to initiate just such a state.
