Before we discuss bad music (only in my opinion) I would like to give a mention to a
performance from the past by Yoko Ono which I was unfortunately subjected to on a
recent TV programme....it was a stadium concert with Yoko approaching the Mike
backed by Eric Clapton on guitar...Keith Richards on Bass....and of course John
Lennon on guitar.....plus a big band behind them....next to the mike was some bloke
scraping away on a fiddle...then Yoko begins....she didn't actually sing she just
squawked in various octaves .... no words...no tune....it sounded like either a seagull
or a tom cat with its testicles trapped in the door.....added to which was the fiddle
playing at high speed into the same mike....it was unbearable and if I had have been
Clapton I would have walked off....what was going on?!!....to call it atrocious would be
a compliment.......but I suppose it gives certain folk the opportunity to "understand"
the message....the same folk who see so much art excellence in Tracy Emin's
unmade bed.....it's hard to believe what some people can get away with.....IT IS
RUBBISH!!
As for my worst song feature this week I would like to put forward The Smiths.....no
song in particular just anything by The Smiths.....Morrisey has to be the worst singer
and "composer" ever...with the exception of Yoko of course......the band are good it's
just Morrisey....it's as if the band go in the studio and rattle out a decent backing
track....then along comes Morrisey and sings the first thing that comes into his head
over it......so Vince the choice this week is yours....anything by The Smiths will be fine
with me because it is all diabolical.
