It's Like Morrissey Died In Vain...

About Me

Making Other Bands Look Shit Since 2002 ............................................................ ............................................."Shortly after his Grandfathers funeral Jimmy discovered a ukulele in the attic and a small handwritten book of his grandfathers poetry....He met Eleanor the day after his best friends wedding, at a Libertines gig. They booked 3 gigs and guided by the unflinching eye of their guru and mentor Duke Marmapants, decided to form the greatest band of all time. He wrote some songs about shagging. She wrote some songs influenced by words she had seen written on toilet walls. They are repeatedly described as "Genius" and once as "Dostoevsky singing Lonnie Donnegan" Both descriptions are correct."................................................... ............................................................ DISCLAIMER: This story is TRUE & has nothing to do with the work of Joseph Campbell or their interpritation by George Lucas.
