And i belive mac's own version of the funeral (in adam's book I belive) says there was quite alot of wailing anf gnashing of teeth so she's talking bollocks there as well. And jack - its a coincidence.
Essentially. She starts out with some background and then drops thls: "Pete had always shared with us his disgruntled tales of life in the Bunnymen but after their final gigs for the year of 1985 his dissatisfaction had reached a new peak." and then she continues and you're like "wait for it, wait for it..." and BAM! she doesn't disappoint with the passive agressive guilt trip: "So it saddens me that such an essential element during the Bunnymen’s wonder years has warranted so little ‘official’ love and honour – his death is mentioned only in passing on the Bunnymen’s wiki and, on the band’s own website, it’s as if Pete barely existed."
Meanwhile, she's forgotten the fact that the pals who went with him to American (the ones she speaks so highly of) used and abused him and drained him dry and abandoned him when the money ran out. Fuckers.
I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard Pete had died. Every year I think of him and I know I'm not alone.
