Yay!! I used to be obsessed with snoopy when I was about 2-4yrs. I watched every movie and every special and every episode and read every clip out from the funny papers, and I even had a giant snoopy doll about the size of me.

I was truly obsessed.

He's actually a lovely fellow in real life, as it happens.

i'd hang out with melly and listen to him talk about the gigs he attended as a wee lad and listen to his endless collection of music.

i would, however, jump out the window once he insists on the genius of the ting tings, which is most likely inevitable.

Everyneuro - you got rep.

While you're round here, we could call up William Bennett and leave him rude phone messages.

Um, you probably won't believe this, but I actually did work in advertising for 4 years (office gopher, and training to be a copywriter). Dad Melly still works in the biz - he's currently working as a freelance writer for Ogilvy & Mather in London.

Needless to say, my Dad has all the writing talent in our family

[Everyneurotic]

that sounds like a phone party.

"hey mr bennett we're big fans and we just wanted to tell you that...YOU'RE A FUCKING PRICK!!! YES YOU ARE, FACIST CUNT, YOU THINK YOU'RE SMART? DO YOU?! DO YOU?! RAPE FOR PROGRESSIVE SOCIETIES IN THE LAND OF MASS ASSASSINS, DO YOU?! DO YOU?! FIST UP YOUR ARSE!! thanks".

i should officially be employed in ads and marketing, if i didn't hate it so much.

[Cantankerous]

your dad must be good at bullshitting if he writes advertisements.

And that would end up as a lyric on the next Whitehouse album!

He's had (counts) 40 years experience of it. I don't think he remembers much of the 1970's, it was that good apparently

Note: He used to have framed in his study in the mid-80's a 3 page memo he wrote, which completely demolished this account handler fuckwit he used to have to deal with. I think he might have it stashed away somewhere still.

with the interview saying "i wrote it, i was inspired by the times we live in, not by any one person or not...our fans are cunts, you know?"

most of the people i know who were around back in the day said it was shit. i guess it depends on your situation.

[MellySingsDoom]

Tis true - I think for my dad, decent wage + free booze + regular trips to New York + other things I won't mention here = yay for him in the 70's.

[cryptowonderdruginvogue]

some, yes
others, no

[flophousefloozie]

Absolutely.

[flophousefloozie]

I might need a place to stay in New York, if I can accomplish that.
