Record Company Bosses Instruct Public To Like Squawking Lesbian Folkie From Taunton Again

Music industry executives strongly suggest that you log onto iPlayer immediately and buy all the MP3s by Taunton folk lesbian PJ Harvey - including all her old stuff which you dutifully bought on CD ten years ago, when she was last given the Mercury Sales Boost - unless, perhaps, you want to give your dinner-party guests the impression that you must be some sort of war-crazed homophobic misogynist.

“Polly Harvey’s seminal new album, ‘Gosh, War Is Really Bad Isn’t It’, offers a unique lesbian insight into the war thing,” explained her proud owner Barry Weiss, CEO of Island Records. “You will be humbled and elated to hear her fearlessly stripping bare your narrow, heterosexual misconceptions about war with the aid of her trusty Les Paul and some sort of tin-plated polygon with strings, opening your complacent eyes to the shocking revelation that, for many people, war is actually quite bad. Now give me your cash, suckers.”

Polly and her special anti-war plunky thing
“Anybody who doesn’t worhsip PJ is obviously a frustrated would-be rapist, what with her heroically ticking the lezzer box and that,” said longtime fan Starchild Moonflower. “I’ve been so like into her since way back, when she sang that one about menstruating Celtic statues – essential subject matter that testosterone-fuelled cock wavers like Justin Bieber wouldn’t dare touch with a bargepole.”

Once her record company has recovered the huge investment it made in hiring a soundproofed warehouse, a Macbook Pro and a couple of microphones for a day or two, the re-crowned queen of the battlefield said she was eagerly looking forward to putting her royalties towards a six pack of Strongbow and a fresh pair of leather pants.

Folk singers are ok until they become famous - you just go to different pubs.

Are you sure she's a lezzie? 'Cause I don't fancy her and that would be a First.

(I put an “ ' ” especially as I know you smash furniture at the sight of bad grammer)

How are you with spelling mistakes?

What about 19th French Philosophy?

... that it stood alone in the midst of the nation. seemingly the staff of an army, really a group of soldierless officers and it will be easy to conceive of how, after an existence of a thousand years, it was overthrown in a single night

So put that in your cheese eating surrender monkey and smoke it.

Being English, of ocurse, I'm genetically predisposed to regard all philosophy with equal distrust. I'm prepared to regard your misspelling of grammar as a deliberate attempt to make me chew the scenery, but quoting George W Bush... that was uncalled for.
