It's the greatest comeback single in history. If Neil Young had written it, people would be calling it a masterpiece. I've always liked Take That, too. They looked so brilliant back in the day and did everything right, but this is something else. It's got such a dark lyric: "My heart is numb, has no feeling/ So while I'm healing/ Just try and have a little patience". There's also a maturity about it that suits the boys all grown-up. Gary Barlow is a genius; I won't have anyone argue against him. When Alex Turner slagged off Take That at the 2006 Q awards for getting an award, I nearly lost it. James [Dean Bradfield from the Manics] was grabbing me by the arm, saying: "Don't lose it, Nicky." You get so many alternative bands banging on about how to make perfect pop, and this kicks all their arses.</em></blockquote></strong></em>CyFloristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026189508971100887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17359631.post-29562421825695678342009-08-21T13:03:00.000-07:002009-08-21T13:03:00.074-07:00ShockHorror/ Don't Look Back In Anger- The View<strong>Live at Koko in Camdentown, LDN...

NINE. I played with damn Barbies till I was 13. And they excommunicate her mom. And the damn doctors. </strong><br /><p><strong>Not her alleged rapist. </strong></p><p><strong>"More serious" than raping a 9 year-old. </strong></p><strong>This? THIS IS WHY I NO LONGER ATTEND REGULARLY ATTEND CHURCH.<br /><br />NINE. YEARS. OLD.<br /><br />They'll probably canonize that freaking bishop.<br /><br /><br /></strong><em><blockquote><strong><em>A senior Vatican cleric has defended the excommunication of the mother and doctors of a nine-year-old girl who had an abortion in Brazil after being raped.<br /><br />Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, head of the Catholic church's Congregation for Bishops, told the daily La Stampa on Saturday that the twins the girl had been carrying had a right to live.<br /><br />"It is a sad case but the real problem is that the twins conceived were two innocent persons, who had the right to live and could not be eliminated," he said.<br /><br />Re, who also heads the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, added: "Life must always be protected, the attack on the Brazilian church is unjustified."<br /><br />The row was triggered by the termination on Wednesday of twin foetuses carried by a nine-year-old allegedly raped by her stepfather in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco.<br /><br />The regional archbishop, Jose Cardoso Sobrinho, pronounced excommunication for the mother for authorising the operation and doctors who carried it out for fear that the slim girl would not survive carrying the foetuses to term.<br /><br />"God's law is above any human law. So when a human law ... is contrary to God's law, this human law has no value," Cardoso had said.<br /><br />He also said the accused stepfather would not be expelled from the church. Although the man allegedly committed "a heinous crime ... the abortion - the elimination of an innocent life - was more serious".<br /><br />Battista Re agreed, saying: "Excommunication for those who carried out the abortion is just" as a pregnancy termination always meant ending an innocent life.<br /><br />The case has sparked fierce debate in Brazil, where abortion is illegal except in cases of rape or if the woman's health is in danger.<br /><br />On Friday, President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva hit out at Sobrinho's decision, saying: "As a Christian and a Catholic, I deeply regret that a bishop of the Catholic church has such a conservative attitude."<br /><br />"The doctors did what had to be done: save the life of a girl of nine years old," he said, adding that "in this case, the medical profession was more right than the church."</em> </strong></blockquote></em><br /><a href="http://www.first-draft.com/2009/03/nine-years-old.html"><br />via</a>CyFloristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026189508971100887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17359631.post-43800005541696160782009-03-05T17:12:00.000-08:002009-03-05T17:16:59.211-08:00Oh, BOYS<strong>Let's stick to oneword album titles next time, please. </strong>
