Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I spoke with JE a couple of times and he was very pleasant. Not an exuberant chap perhaps but a decent sort.
No idea what JJ says about him as I have no interest in the book, but from other bits n pieces it won't be positive will it?

Yes he has recorded. But then gets into a row with the record companies who he sold them to and tehy say, sod you and don't release!

Drummer...

Yeah, I suppose so.
Take a bit from everything and form your own conclusions

I'm sure I judge it too binary!

I've always had a bit of a problem with Crass and Rimbaud. I do not doubt his integrity and his belief, but I struggle with the way that many slavishly follow the word of Crass and Rimbaud. To me, punk was about having your own thoughts and ideas and deciding what you wanted or didn't. Followers of ...

I would burn every single record that was ever pressed by them and erase them from the history of music.


OK!

I admit it!

I don't like them!

Do you have an HR department?

Document the examples. Times, dates, witnesses.

Speak to your line manager or supervisor.

I have experienced coercion but not bullying. It's horrible and I sympathise.

Some people do not know they are bullying and a polite word might help.

Good luck

magnificent! So well done and so full of humour.
Thanks!!!
