I was killing a few minutes at work reading an interview with Simon Cowell yesterday. This colossal figurehead of the f*ckwits said, and I quote, "funnily enough it's only this year that I've started to even listen to lyrics for the first time. Swear to God. For me, they were like wallpaper. I never took any notice of them." What a moron. I immediately thought of the Manics' articulate attack on this modern culture of complete moronity in 'Motown Junk.' This song is more relevant now than it ever was - I reckon it should be used to trounce this year's Christmas song crap like we did with Rage's 'Killing in the name' a couple of years ago.
