crazy thing is i actually saw an RHCP interview on TV recently where i vaguely Flea said something that struck me as more highfalutin and possibly anglicized than i would've expected from him, so i'm honestly not sure if he did say "rubbish"

did he weigh in on the gravity of the situation facing the home counties

David Lee Roth on Elvis CostelloMark E Smith on Mumford & SonsNick Cave on Red Hot Chili PeppersElvis Costello on Morrissey <- truth bombNoel Gallagher on Jack White

nonetheless, flea loves him some Nick Cave so no hard feelings (or they haven't heard what Mr. Cave said about their music).

i definitely read some thing a while back where flea was qqing that cave didnt like rhcp
Lou Reed on Zappa: "He's probably the single most untalented person I've heard in my life. He's a two-bit pretentious academic, and he can't play rock'n'roll, because he's a loser. And that's why he dresses up funny. He's not happy with himself, and I think he's right."

i actually thought of the lou reed quote on frank zappa. i think that the quotes are from a compiled list and the lou reed quote didn't make the cut for whatever reason, though.

So a child named Jeremy can call his mother "mummy", whereas Richie has to call his mother "mum" or else she'll box him about the ears?

altho the "Jeremy" thing has a slightly less blanket application than that. see also: the Housemartins "Five Get Overexcited"

it's a cheap, lazy zing and not worth making but y'know it was at least half funny which puts it ahead of a lot of the list. and the point is that it's aimed at the Levellers who at the time was busy claiming Friedmanism and never having a bath as The Most Radical Gesture so

yeah but consider the source, i think when the zing is made by somebody clearly less talented than the zingee it weakens the blow a little. it's a great line tho.

oh yeah, i mean, i don't care much for either of them, but gallagher far less.

one of my all-time favourites is henry rollins on morrissey - “get a girlfriend, get a James Brown CD, get some vitamin C, get some fucking clean air and some sunlight, go outside for a walk. get over it!”
i still don't know who rollins is but that is otm.

it's funny cause henry rollins is exactly as moody as morrissey really, and it's not like his music is particularly james brown-influenced
