Nicky Wire

Woke yesterday thinking of Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire, because that's the sort of thing I do. More to the point, I was thinking of his comments at Glastonbury in 1994, at the nigh-height of Britpop's flowering, when everyone was all excited to be English and the pesky Yanks were being properly squashed under John Bull's cordovan sixteen-hole boot.

M. Wire looks out over the crowd and says into the mic: "They should build a fucking flyover* across this crap."

Brill!
"Masses Against the Classes":

"Ocean Spray" (not angry, just sad):

* highway overpass
