I love how you make your mindless rant sound logical by throwing in a couple of witty and sarcastic phrases. Any fool can find a flaw in something, it takes a wise man to find the good. Remember that as you wallow in your pool of ignorant pride.

Darling, if you despise music so much please tell me why you’re wasting your precious time ranting against it? Why don’t you blog about something you do enjoy? Surely it doesn’t pay well enough to rely on as a legitimate source of income! And no, I’m not trying to be polite. This is my condescending comment as I laugh and go on to the next article that will hopefully be more informative. And interesting. On top of being ignorant, your article was boring. If you’re going to insult, give us something that is in some way amusing.

Also, to say that The Specials contributed nothing to politics and racial integration is just nonsense. Obviously a hater, no balance in the argument. Id say that if you ‘scrape the make up off her skin, then we’d see the warts upon her chin’ and ‘her temper changed, she looked so deranged, her perfume turned to gin’, but most importantly, its all a load of bollocks.

The highpoint of The Specials recording career was “Ghost Town”, a song about people not going out in Coventry anymore. Of course they weren’t going out anymore, all they were playing in the clubs was fucking Specials records. Oh – Coventry is like Detroit.*

Oddly enough, the height of the MMBTs career was recording a cover version of “Detroit Rock City”.

I find it touching the way the devotees of the music you slam come in here screaming in all caps like a bunch of trained animals.

You’ve presented a document that is biased, under researched and in my opinion childish. How old are you? 12!

Lets remember that the Specials and other Two Tone bands not only had hit records in this country, but also started a very positive movement, that many people related to and gained a hell of a lot from. You’re not talking about Milli Vanili here, you’re talking about a band who made a great contribution to british music.

There seems to be more than a trace of bitterness in the above article. Why is this?

You make a lot of assumptions. You call Terry Hall an idiot, Buster Bloodvessel a thug and then state that the Specials did nothing for racial intergration in this country.

This article is crap, you’ll never pass your English GCSE like this Tanya. Whats more I feel that I’ve wasted part of my life, taking the time to read and reply to it…
