Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Typos corrected as they appear to be of the utmost importance.

Seeking The Room With The Three Windows, Without Knowing The End and The Last Song are good...the rest is earnest dad rock like the latter-day Manics have churned out for years...but if you like post Richey Manics you'll disagree.

Nothing on there comes close to That's No Way To Tell A Lie.

I actually like this album which is a bit weird I guess cos it’s not brilliant but I broke up with an ex-model Female Woman at the time and was listening to this a lot and it reminds me of her and those times good and bad. I guess thats an interesting angle, liking or not liking an album cos of how...

My perspective is that equality and social parity are the Big Picture in the BLM debate. Unfortunately I disagree. They are weaponising specific incidents, manipulating the natural repulsion to racism to create social discord, division and instability. Meanwhile in China, ethic cleansing is being c...

I don't think anyone here said racism, discrimination and prejudice don't exist though No, you all seem to think 'It's not that bad here' but that is not true. You are shielded from it by your privilege of being the racial majority. Just because it's not a problem for you personally doesn't mean it...

I walked into the chemist the other day and the Pharmacist, a young man asked me “Why are you wearing that t-shirt for?” I didn’t have to but I explained to him why I was wearing the t-shirt after which that he looked a bit confused and embarrassed.
